Pasta & Pinot

Last post before our trip to the Black Forest.
A delicious 2 coloured Tortelloni dish (red filled with Basil, white with Pumpkin) with Bolognese Sauce and a delicate Gorgonzola Sauce(not the blue style..that gives off a bitter taste..buy the 90% white version)
Ziereisen Spätburgunder
Rhini 2006

Baden, Germany

Instantly appealing aroma..intense strawberry.....on the palate quite complex..minerals and terroir...spicy edge..powerful fruit...it closed with airing..but next day had filled out again...
Enjoyable now..but with potential to age 10 years....
Points 17.5
