2017 Spätburgunder trocken Thörle and polished tannins

and polished tannins

Nach dem Destillieren reift der Brand noch ganze 3 Jahre im Eichenfass nach - so kommt es zur charakteristischen honiggelben Färbung und einer weichen runden Aromatik

This character is more obvious in cooler years like 2010 or 2013

This point is clear when you taste all the other wines in the Fontodi portfolio and conclude with this bottle

2017 Spätburgunder trocken Thörle and polished tanninsJames Suckling 91 Punkte: Very attractive black cherries with hints of wet earth and smoke. For a basic pinot noir this has a serious tannin structure and a bold finish. A great food wine! Bottled unfiltered. Drink or hold.
