The 2019 A. Christmann Konigsbacher Idig Spatburgunder Grosses Gewachs is a remarkable wine with a complex and elegant character. This Pinot Noir from the renowned Idig vineyard in Germany's Pfalz region offers a deep ruby-red colour. A superb wine that showcases the finest qualities of a well-crafted Spatburgunder Grosses Gewachs.
Cherry, strawberry, cinnamon and almond, earth, almost into liquorice and dark chocolate. Tannins sit inside the wine so beautifully, fleshy, earthy but proper earthy, if you take my meaning, and so at ease with itself. Cool acidity. Complex. A complete Pinot that’s as good as anything from anywhere. Touch and go for 97 points really.
