Big 18 sunshine nose. Violets, mulch and spice. Some nice sweet wood as well. But just enormous spice. Very Fruh. Palate is so elegant and full of violets and wonderful inner mouth florals. Really nice opulent texture and just floats. Let’s see what air does. After air this gets more linear and gains edge and energy. Really different now than when it was p and p. — 20 days ago

Sometimes an older bottle just hits and wow tbh is killing it? Nose is dusty bookshelves, old books, glorious spice and some faint cherry but the story is the palate. Wow. Just perfect. Sensual texture, hit of opulence, great acids and freshness, barely sweet fruit and killer length. What one wants out of an aged wine. Fantastical. — 3 months ago

Nose: terrific. White and yellow flowers. Really elegant and balanced. A 9.65.

Palate : mineral. Sweet lemon. So good. Big acidity

This will be better in 5 years, I think. But great now.

This is just such a distinctive and delicious wine. Yellow flowers.

Nose: so mineral and nicely tropical. So silvaner. Amazing typicity

Palate is stone fruits, minerals. So juicy. Great acidity.

Amazing with food. Just makes a good evening great. An hour in you get the wall of flavor. Dense yellow fruits mineral acidity all hit you like a lunch in the face all at once. Magnificent. Rich. Amazing body. Minerals crushed by hand in your mouth.

Finish has this almost savory element. Terrific

We can argue about styles but this is one of the best silvaners on earth.

This Scheu is excellent. Some kind of a cross of Riesling and a wild vine by Georg Scheu in 1916 hence the name. Highly aromatic but more green than a Riesling less depth and build more for easy drinking even for this wine coming from old vines. Tastes a little bit like a Sauvignon Blanc. Passionfruit, hint of Pyrazines aka Grapefruit found in the New Zealand Savs’s. 🍋 Lemon. 12%. — 3 months ago

More notes later as I just poured it out and wow! In an amazing place. So supple and rich but fresh. Really gamey and meaty with fantastic freshness and vivid cherry fruit. Really amazing overnight. So sappy, succulent, pure and balanced. Just gorgeous wine. — 2 months ago
