2020 Weingut Keller - Grosses Gewachs Spatburgunder Frauenberg (750ml)
94 Points
"The meaty, saline and savory elements on the nose are even more striking

than in the corresponding Bürgel, suggesting mussels and escargot, while

the fruity dimension evokes cherry and grenadine. Pithy concentration and

a palpable impression of berry seed crunch and a peppery bite somehow

coexist with an underlying sense of polish and gloss as well as a brightness

that are scarcely achievable other than with Pinot Noir. Rich, smoky

suggestions of nut oils add further intrigue and appeal, beautifully

dovetailing with the aforementioned savory, animal elements. “The

pronounced piquancy [Würze] and overt sense of [tannic] structure in

Frauenberg puts me in mind a bit of Barolo,” comments Keller while I’m

tasting this wine. In fact, the sense of bittersweet, inner-mouth, floral

perfume that is a memorable part of this beauty’s finish is also Nebbiololike. Like the other vintage 2020 Keller Pinots, this was bottled in July of

2022 after having been moved to tank for a few months. It’s scheduled for

release in spring of 2023."
