The red wine »Cuvée Wilhelm Réserve« trocken, vintage 2022 from the winery Weingut Wageck Pfaffmann has been rated in 2025 by Ulrich Sautter with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot from the region Pfalz (Palatinate) in Germany.
Stimulating aromas of cassis, eucalyptus, graphite, ajvar, bacon and smoke. Lots of juice and substance, on the palate a vivid but delicate tannin, creamy acidity, in the centre an ethereal herbal savouriness takes over and carries into a long finish. Made for the long haul.
More about the tastingA dense aroma on the nose: Amarena cherry, gingerbread, redcurrant, broom, juniper. The palate first reveals an intense, tactile chalky minerality, then a dense, fine-grained tannin unfolds, intense juiciness transports the fruit into a long, chalky finish. Still very young, but already accessible.
More about the tastingPiquant-spicy aroma: mint, mint oil, also herbal tones and red bell pepper. No berry tones (yet). The palate is still very youthful, dense, with pronounced alcohol and fresh aromas accompanied by a fine nerve and lots of juiciness. Gingerbread savouriness on the finish. Great length. A baby.
