Just a brilliant, cerebral Riesling. Nose has some funk, lemon, lime, slate, lemon pith, lemon flesh and juicy lime. So piercingly mineral. The palate is just stunning. So gorgeous and pure. Really young out of the gates. Like biting into a lemon. Awesome acidity and freshness but very very young and closed. Air does wonders here. Wonderful but man does this need air. Now, 24 hours later we have gotten air. Boy is this stunning. The nose finally had that slate/porphyry minerality in spades. Dense and elegant with a fiercely mineral finish. Chewy. Structure for days! — a month ago
