Kuhling Gillot, Kreuz Spatburgunder GG Size:6x750ml

Kuhling Gillot, Kreuz Spatburgunder GG Size:6x750mlThe 2021 Sptburgunder Oppenheimer Kreuz Grosses Gewchs is from Triassic calcareous marl. There is richer, darker fruit, verging from red into black cherry. Smoke overlays the nose for now, while the aromatics almost touch Amarena cherry. This is darker, more brooding and heavier, with a dense tannic web. Yet there are aromatic red fruits with highlights of elderberry. (Bone dry)

and the time in oak was shortened

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon

cheesiness and dustiness

layered finish

Bottled in Spring 2012

but its benchmark quality is already glaringly apparent

Very persistent on the long

There is fine detail and very solid ripeness to the delicious and equally restrained medium-bodied flavors that also exude a fine minerality on the balanced finish that displays just a touch of rusticity

I suspect that it is again the abundant gas

dried flowers and dark fruits

It's hard to believe this is already just days away from its 19th birthday

I'd hold this for at least 5 or 6 years and then enjoy it over the next 20
