2018 Pinot Noir Altenbourg Domaine Weinbach

The 2018 Altenbourg Pinot Noir offers a pure, warm, intense yet delicate and terroir-driven bouquet with some nougat notes on the otherwise super ripe, cherry-driven nose. Lush and refined, with remarkably fine tannins intertwined with silky acidity, this is a smooth, round and delicate Pinot with fine tannins intertwined with crystalline and saline acidity that leads to an intense, sweet and very elegant finish that is long, lush and fruit-intense and even reveals some licorice notes. The wine is rich and smooth but also complex, particularly in the saline and finely tannic finish. Excellent aging potential. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
