Robert Parker Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt - 31 Mar 21
The 2018 Jaspis Pinot Noir "Zipsin" is a fascinating Pinot with a dark ruby color and an intense yet spicy and even coolish bouquet, with smoked and tart dark cherry and berry aromas intermixed with notes of cedar wood, tobacco and pure cacao. Full-bodied, intense and concentrated on the fleshy, dense and powerful yet also pure, fresh and refined palate with ripe, elegant tannins and great balance, this is a long, intense and spicy Pinot of great class and style. The wine was aged in new and old 225-liter barrels for 22 months and bottled with less than one gram of residual sugar and 13.5% alcohol. Tasted from lot L 30 20 in November 2020.
