The Tb points given to this wine are the world’s most valid and most up-to-date evaluation of the quality of the wine. Tastingbook points are formed by the Tastingbook algorithm which takes into account the wine ratings of the world's best-known professional wine critics, wine ratings by thousands of tastingbook’s professionals and users, the generally recognised vintage quality and reputation of the vineyard and winery. Wine needs at least five professional ratings to get the Tb score. Tastingbook.com is the world's largest wine information service which is an unbiased, non-commercial and free for everyone.
Pursuant to the principle of the great Châteaux in the Bordeaux that do not market the wines under the names of their individual vineyard sites, we understand the Geheimrat "J" as the 'Grand vin' of our Oestrich estate. Great wines of up to 15 different 'Erstes Gewächs' vineyards cultivated by us are the basis of the assemblage of every vintage, and the resulting product is the very best of all our dry wines.
1999 had a dry winter, followed by moderate temperatures in the remaining months. However, there was a considerable number of drizzly days at the time of harvest, causing a few headaches for varieties that are sensitive to Botrytis bunch rot, i.e. Grenache. It did clear up, though, and the wines that were produced were all closed and slightly under medium intensity. They are looking better all the time.
Deep, almost opaque, purple colour. Very intense, ripe, dark fruity nose with blackcurrants and blueberries, butterscotch and spicy cedar notes. A full-bodied, refined and complex wine with velvety texture. Loads of jammed dark fruit, very refined tannins and a great broad taste with vanilla and coffee tones. A touch of mintiness in the long finish. An immense concentration thanks to the old vines and reduced yield due to dead arm disease.
