A rough day. So which wine will never disappoint? Dampt Cote de lechet.
Nose: lovely. A green apple skin mineral perfume. White flowers get this to 94.
Palate: sweet green apple. Salty. Mineral. Utterly delicious. This is not the acid driven hammer that 21’was but it’s in the range of being as good.

Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.
Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.
Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.

A brilliant 17!!!!
This was a HOT vintage. And making good wine was hard. A ton of it was hot.
This took the vintage and ran with it. It has dark fruits but they are balanced nose has hints of smoke and Cassis. Lilac aromatics. Fun fun fun to drink.
Nose flirts with Barolo spice.
If you love wine you love vintage variation. I wish I had more of this. A triumph. — 14 days ago

Silvaner Maria im weingarten Richard ostreicher.
This NEEDS a and hour decant. Do NOT a drink sooner.
Nose: yellow flowers. White flowers. Lovely. Really a great nose.
Palate: lemon Zest. Hints of tropical fruit. Mineral. A bit confused. Let’s see where this goes.
As this opens its like elite unoaked condrieu. Silky minerals. Just a hint of tropicality it not so much as to make it annoying. Elegant. Wow.
A great contrast to weltner which is denser and more impactful. This is way on the elegant side of things. Wispy.
Very distinctive

Still good freshness. Elegant cherry fruit. Missing a bit of the vibrancy it had in its youth but still lovely.
As this opens you get lovely pink roses on the nose. This wine still has it. It just needs some time.
