Benedikt Baltes Klingenberg Spätburgunder Alte Reben 2015

All the Klingenberg is classified as Grosses Gewächs (German for Grand Cru), so Benedikt makes an internal rating for the wines. The sites that make up this Alte Reben are not only some of the oldest vines, but they are also in the coolest sites. The diurnal shift from hot summer days to cool nights promote the building of longer phenolic aromas and this wine is darker, but it retains lightness. Black cherry and plum aromas are buttressed with a minty, sweet tannin palate.

A Pinot Noir worthy of any premium Burgundy lineup!
