Stein - 2019 Spätburgunder "Waechter" 2019

This is in most year's Stein's top Spätburgunder bottling (see comments on the "Reserve" above) named after the famous artist who did the label, F.K. Waechter. The Waechter bottling is a selection of the best fruit (normally the wine is a touch riper, with alcohols in the 12-12.5% range) and the élevage is carried out in used 225-liter barrique including one DRC barrel Stein got from Daniel Twardowski. The 2019 is just beginning to come around, showing great detail and diversity of red and blue fruit, a mid-palate that is expansive and coating. Yet the vintage also has a formidable structure and great acids.
