Germany's 2009s – a guide

We have published our many hundreds of tasting notes so far on Germany's exceptionally approachable 2009 vintage in several different tranches, as listed below, most recent first.

But don't overlook the 2008s, which are leaner and more obviously defined but are maturing very nicely. The 2007s are already famous.

* denotes those articles that can be viewed by anyone, Purple pager or not.
