Wow. Nose is mad confectionary with lime zest, sweet lime, apricot (only a hint) and insane pulverized rock dust. Just so complex, subtle and nuanced. Genius. Dizzying. Just wow. Palate has ripping acidity and just the most intense sapidity. Stunning concentration and unreal length. So pure. Needs air but just incredible. Crazy minerality on the nose is echoed on the palate. Okay the confectionary nose is beyond now. Just insane. So elegant and precise. Again the purity of Icelandic glacial melt. — a month ago

No formal notes. So mineral. Huge acids. No formal notes. — a year ago

Reductive and a bit closed with a herby, a touch bitte note. Juicy, racy acidity with underripe lemon. Yet there’s some darker character - not the flowery light type. Quite some weight & power. Yet not so much charm.

My new favorite Austrian wine! Had the Josephine a while back but we did not become great friends. Anatasius, however, is playful, fruitful, and slightly bubbly. Made a new friend. — 2 months ago

Lovely stuff and so mineral. Love the mineral force of these wines. Nose is almost Chablisean. Seashells and ocean breeze. Lime zest and come other light citrus. Really great lift. These wines are so elite. Palate is so ultra focused with terrific purity, energy and an almost tannic finish. Palate is mostly mineral with some citrus but the great Felsenberg always needs hours to unravel. But it is all there as the length is brilliant. Great concentration and inner mouth “smarties” aromas which is classic Felsenberg. — a year ago

Wow. Just classically awesome gg out of the gate.

Nose: screaming white and yellow flowers. So intense. A dusting of powdered minerals. Perfect. As this opens gods white flower perfume. Intense. Clean. Perfect.

Palate: perfection on the attack. Minerals form yellow flowers and stone fruits. Amazing density. Pulls no punches. Utterly delicious. Perfect balance.

A textbook nahe Riesling.

Honestly it’s so delicious I want to guzzle a bottle with a bag of potato chips. But it’s so good I just want to smell it’s all night.

Nose: mountain stream, yellow flowers, fine minerals.

Palate is golden apples. Minerals. Big acids.

Needs at least an hour decant. On open is correct but not delicious. As it opens it gets more interest and deliciousness. Nose is more intense and round. More sensual. Palate is much better. More depth and intensity. More peach.
