Schweigen is on the border with Alsace and these producers have some vines in French territory that is allowed to be labelled as German wine.
Friedrich BECKER
2019 (Schweigen) Heydenreich Spätburgunder GG
Good fruit here, but somewhat dusty. Red fruits, penetrating, but tannins present. A wine to cellar. 91+/A-
2019 (Schweigen) KB Spätburgunder GG
Not quite as austere as the Heydenreich, a bit more dark to the red fruits, good penetration. Again, expect to cellar for some time. I believe that this in fact is Becker's wine from the Kammerberg vineyard. 91+/A-
2019 (Schweigen) Sankt Paul Spätburgunder GG
The airiest and most elegant of the three Becker wines here, with red fruits and good purity. But still it needs 5-7 years to its best. 91+/A-
BERNHART
2020 (Schweigen) Sonnenberg RG Spätburgunder GG
Dusty dark fruits in the nose. Medium-light with some hardness, dark fruits, good length. Not generous today, but I can see this wine filling out with age. I believe that this may Becker's wine from the Rädgling vineyard. 89(+)/B
2020 (Schweigen) Sonnenberg KT Spätburgunder GG
Not terribly forthcoming in the nose. Medium-light in body, still some tightness to dark fruits. This wine may ultimately show much better than today. I believe that this may Bernhart's wine from the Kostert vineyard. 87/C
JÜLG
2020 (Schweigen) Kammerberg Spätburgunder GG
Spicy dark fruit nose. Medium-weight with finesse to dark berry fruits, some tannins on finish. 90(+)/B+
2020 (Schweigen) Kostert Spätburgunder GG
Attractive floral nose. Medium-weight body with sensual texture, dark fruits, elegance, length. Good to drink already. 92/A
