Superb showing. Energetic and wide open. Tangy and long. Crisp and juicy with a lovely honeyed nougat element throughout. Awesome 2020 icing texture and awesome purity. Long, chiseled and deep. — 3 months ago

Lights out. Open then if you got them. More notes later but holy wow this is so delicious now and mid term aging on erste lage wines is criminally underrated. — 4 months ago

A brilliant vintage for this. Honeyed apricots, limestone, baked apple, honeysuckle, so aromatic and ripe but also tense and mineral. Palate is ripe, rich and honeyed but has dazzling purity and freshness and a nougat character to the wine. Mouthwatering and perfectly balanced. Brilliant! As this airs it’s getting much more grip and structure. Really dense and mineral but also honeyed and opulent. Multifaceted. — a month ago

No formal notes. Love 2020. So classic and mineral. Huge wet earth nose that developed into a mineral nose with crystalline purity. Palate is round and electric at the same time. Some fruit but more mineral driven — 3 months ago

Good but also very awkward. Seems closed. All fruit skins on the palate. Almost a fruit roll up vibe. Good acid and density and super mineral and fresh but structured and closed. Terrific length. Let’s see.

After a few hours the fruit flesh has developed from the fruit skin. The nose has become more honeyed. It’s dense as can be but fresh and energetic. This is as big a Hergott as there was. Almost a 9.5. — 3 months ago
