Markus Molitor, Trarbacher Schlossberg Pinot Noir 3* other_regions A whiff of volatile acidity

A whiff of volatile acidity does not really materially diminish the appeal of the earthy and markedly sauvage-inflected aromas of both red and dark pinot fruit that display a top note of various floral elements

dried persimmon and dried mango notes ripple along

with more Barolo tannins than Burgundy

With a bit of aeration

all wrapped in an understated and beautifully balanced that possesses top 1er length on the beautifully long finish

Markus Molitor, Trarbacher Schlossberg Pinot Noir 3* other_regions A whiff of volatile acidityWild and untamed as always yet pure, fresh and slatey on the still reductive, just slightly oaky and leathery nose with its tobacco and sweet red fruit and plum skin aromas, the full bodied, tight and concentrated 2016 Pinot Noir Trarbacher Schlossberg *** is juicy, nervy, salty and piquant on the palate, which is also tight and tensioned and with great astringency. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
