Domaine Marcel Deiss Burlenberg 2020 750ml (98JS/96WA)

The 2020 Domaine Marcel Deiss Burlenberg is a rare, full-bodied red blend from Alsace, primarily composed of co-planted Pinot Noir and other Pinot mutations (Pinot Beurot, Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier). Grown on steep, iron-rich limestone, it offers deep red fruit aromas, intense minerality, and a remarkably savory, saline finish. Nose: Incredibly deep aromas of wild berries, black raspberry, blackcurrant, and damp forest floor, layered with delicate spices, nutmeg, and subtle smoke. Palate: Full-bodied, textural, and juicy, unfolding with creamy tenderness and dark silkiness. Notes of cherry and plum mingle with a prominent earthy core and striking minerality. Finish: Long, ample, and savory, characterized by firm yet fine-grained tannins and a remarkable, salivating salinity.
