2022 "Schlossberg" Spätburgunder Großes Gewächs

This awesome Baden pinot noir is a giant of aromatic complexity, with incredibly fine forest berry aromas and delicate notes of licorice and forest floor, plus just a hint of bitter chocolate and coffee beans. Then the incredible concentration and freshness hit you like a giant wave. The fabulously fine tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate wash all your cares away and bathe you in delight. Super-long and intense finish that’s so polished. Drink or hold.

Huber's 2022 Spätburgunder Schlossberg GG from Hecklingen is a gorgeous red wine that, along with Fürst (Franken), is at the top of German Pinot Noir. The 2022 shows a deep color and cool nose with seductive cherry aromas, as well as fine spice, tobacco notes and mineral freshness. Powerful, intense and salty on the palate, with a silky texture and delicate lime minerality, this is an enormously powerful and potent (not alcoholic), intense, longer and longer Pinot with great substance. It's a colossal Pinot Noir, probably one of the best in German history since records began (at least on this platform here). Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2024.
