Nice rich wine, peppery fruit, easy tannins and long, mouth feel nice and soft. Named after the Aragon cardinal who was an anti-pope.

Thank you @krautnaimie. I am never patient enough to wait to drink the Huber’s. They are one of my go to summer reds. I do have a couple of 2015 Sommerhalde and Schlossberg’s left in Canada though so will maybe put one aside for down the road…

I understand @PistolPeter try to let them mature. (I hope the English word here is the right one)
In 2010 I had the pleasure to drink a 1990 Pinot from a double Magnum with Bernhard and it was overwhelming. In these times he only had one Cuvee in his top range. He had started to fill the single vineyards later.
Unfortunately Bernhard passed away in 2014. I still have a bottle from 2011, a very good year. I think it is a Sommerhalde too

Absolutely the right word and phrase. How did you get the opportunity to meet Bernard Huber?

Tell you what, if you’re partial to an Appassimento, which I am, then consider this money well spent, at nine squid from Morrisons,
Yum.

I met him at the ProWein, the biggest wine fair in Germany. I could also taste his whole range and it was in these times a real highlight for a Pinot lover
If you would like some recommendations of other producers in Germany don’t hesitate to ask

Welcome back
Holiday in Fiji Islands last week. 29-33 Degs 
Fabulous weather compared to dismal week in Wellington apparently.
Sunset watching over 3 nights with champagne is a great life.

Off to San Francisco tomorrow. Any recommendations for local wines there?
You are a lucky guy @Martinzero
The Pfalz is just a great place, I love this region and the people, the wine and the original cuisine. 
It would be a pleasure to connect with you if you want
Cheers
