"The greatest pinot noir ever made in the underrated region of Wurttemberg! A whole bouquet of violets on the nose, and behind that a wealth of red beets, gunpowder and wet earth. Terrific concentration on the super-focused, but only medium-bodied palate. Off-the-scale racy energy at the almost endless finish suggests this sleek masterpiece has decades of life ahead of it. From a high-altitude site that was forgotten until Christian Dautel started making wine from it. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."

"Dautel's 2020 Spätburgunder Oberstenfeld Forstberg VDP.Grosse Lage is deep, intense and refined on the elegant nose that is reminiscent of ripe, dark berries, toast, smoke and earthy notes. Full-bodied, intense and juicy on the palate, this is a generous, dense and refined red wine with a tight, saline and youthful finish. This is a promising Pinot Noir from a sandstone terroir. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2024."
