Fürst is way ahead of everyone else . . . but you already knew that.



Rudolf FÜRST


2020 (Klingenberg) Schlossberg Spätburgunder GG 

Floral red fruit aromas. night, elegant, red fruits, long, round tannins at the end. Great finesse. 91+/A-




STAATLICHE WEINKELLER WÜRZBURG


2020 (Grossheubach) Bischofsberg Spätburgunder GG

A touch charcoal in nose. Medium-weight, dense dark fruits but still unformed. Not great for immediate drinking, but impression is that this could age out to something really quite good. 87+/C




STEINTAL


2020 (Klingenberg) Schlossberg Spätburgunder GG 

Still some fermentation aromas that eventually blow off. Light, elegant red fruits, but ultimately not complex. 87(?)/C


2020 (Grossheubach) Bischofsberg Spätburgunder GG 

Slight geranium nose. Medium-light, some clarity to red fruits, but still definition is muddied. Silky texture. 86/D
