Expert's Choice: German Pinot Noir

Palataia, Pinot Noir, Pfalz 2011
Bursting with fresh fruit on the nose. Rather Beaujolais-like with its red berry palate of strawberries and raspberries. Slightly smoky, with a creamy summer pudding character. Lacks varietal definition for all its charm. 16pts/20 (86/100)
