Germany's accessible, often floral, answers to red burgundy are increasingly popular, and this one is especially keenly priced.

If you're after Burgundy with plenty of 'juice' then this is the bottle for you. It's full of joyous, fresh fromboise fruit and bright acidity. Far from being one dimensional, there is impressive br...

Round and easy. Flattering and easy with some mushroom and smokiness. Well done! Nice chalky finish.

Pungent date and prune, stewed and fragrant spice. Quite mature, fleshy fruit, spice and herbs, bite, grip and length.
