"From Jurassic chalk soils and aged in (10% new) barrels for 20 months, the Blauer Spätburgunder (a.k.a. Pinot Noir) 2019 Schulen opens with an intense and generous yet, after a longer while of aeration, rather pure, refined and elegant nose of ripe and spicy dark fruits intermingled with discreet but noble toasty notes such as coffee and cacao beans, later on rather crushed limestone tones. Lush and round but dry and fresh on the palate, this is a light to medium-bodied, straight and grippy Pinot Noir with fine tannins and refreshing phenolic acidity. The 2019 Schulen develops a fine, tart and youthful finish. This is an everyday Pinot with a characterful and fruity finish." -Robert Parker
