A rustic wine, this Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder in German) tastes of dried herbs, tobacco and savory spice as much if not more than fruit. It will show best when served with food (roast chicken comes to mind) rather than as an aperitif, and it has the structure and stuffing to age for five or so more years.
