Just like in 2005, the Kanzel Pinot Noir 2006 from Henrik Möbitz is a wonderfully elegant wine. The berry fruit is very pronounced, less earthy than the 2005 and more influenced by the oak barrel, although it's definitely not a New World style of wine, if you know what I mean. It adds a lushness, but does not dominate. It is a very complex wine which does not need 14% alcohol in order to make a statement. At 12% its statement is tacid, but firm. And lasting.
