Winery Rudolf Fürst Hundsrück GG Spätburgunder 2022

The 2022 Hundsrück combines the essence of Centgrafen and Schlossberg, notes Stephan Reinhardt in *The Wine Advocate*, awarding it 98 points. Stuart Pigott rates it a full point higher – and the rest of the critics are in agreement: one of the best German Pinot Noirs of the year. An incredibly complex and dense red fruit profile, enveloped by a crescendo of further aromas: earth, wet stone, autumn leaves, smoke and a subtle yet distinct hint of pepper, accompanied by other spices. All of this is interwoven with an elegance and finesse that leaves the drinker speechless. It is often said that Germany simply cannot produce great Burgundian-style Pinots. Sebastian and Paul Fürst prove the opposite – and do so in an immensely hedonistic manner.
