The garnet colored 2019 Pinot Noir Zeltinger Schlossberg * opens with a deep and spicy, slatey or flinty nose of ripe, dark and concentrated fruits and a charming toasty note. The palate is open, lush and generous, very juicy but also refined, revealing ripe and fine tannins and a fruity, aromatic finish. This is a wonderfully intense and aromatic, elegant, mouth-filling and charming red. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in May 2023. 92+ points
