A Temperamental SB

After obtaining one of the winners of this year’s Pinot Cup, Wegelin ..I managed to get 6 bottles of the other. A week later I took a bottle along to a restaurant where we tried diverse food and the wine did not show well..so…this is it’s second chance…
Knab Endinger Engelsberg Spätburgunder *** 2006 Baden, Germany
First impressions..cherry nose with almonds…the palate showed thick bitter cherries…but this became a little less as it evolved in the glass. Medium tannin grip and a fresh acidity will help it age well…at the moment not the ‘winner’ it was voted…but let’s give it another go in a year. In style..more southern Burgundy…certainly elegant…and whereas many Spätburgunder wines match up well with most foods…you need to be choosy with this one...it’s temperamental.
