On
the spur of the moment...friend Volker called and said he was on his
own-some for the evening...and he would barbecue some meat. I'll bring
wines I said...and a warm summer evening was enjoyed by both...
The lamp he had found in an old house...so ugly it is beautiful!

Last tried this about 2 years ago...
My notes then...
'Jump in and drown aroma'..truffles...spices...adorable..trace of cherries.....just so much cream and charm...no tannins...can it age?...will it get the chance?....I doubt it...a touch finer than the Sankt Paul...some would say that € 45,-- for a German red wine is too high..they should wash their mouth out with soap and water...the same quality in France would cost twice as much. Bravo Herr Becker!

Did
it age?...well both Volker & I looked for excuses...like a one-off
weak bottle...or has it really not aged...and lost that gorgeous middle
flavour.
There is grainy tannin...and the acidity is noticable...not the wow-wine I was hoping would be a great follow up to the 'M'.
