Markus Molitor, Trarbacher Schlossberg Pinot Noir 3* other_regions_italy There is a lovely sense

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the medium weight plus flavors that possess a spicy inner mouth perfume that adds a touch of elegance to the light mineral-inflected and hugely long finish

tight and not revealing much aromatically beyond pure white flower and spice aromas though the rich

This extraordinary Hermitage has more minerality and delineation than the 2009

Markus Molitor, Trarbacher Schlossberg Pinot Noir 3* other_regions_italy There is a lovely senseWild 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.
