Stunning nose. So complex and expressive. Vanilla, nougat, tropical, but just barely tropical as it’s also flirting with citrus. Stunning minerality. This is like Mosel meets Rheinhessen. Juicy and lean with tremendous rain water purity and such stunning concentration. Really just beautiful. Tangy, lime zest, citrus fruits abound in the finish. Nimble and electric with such focus and precision. My score is the same as last time. 9.5. One of the best Orstweine I’ve ever had. — 3 years ago
Needs an hour decant.
Nose : rich Meyer lemon. Sweet richness. Amazing nose. Hint of lemon floor wax. Elite level intensity. Some smoke as it opens.
Palate: very dense but in a fruity way. Large polished stone minerality. Meyer lemon.
Very particular.

Lovely. Super mineral and precise. No formal notes. Cooking dinner wine. Really long. Will update tomorrow.
Today it’s super minerally with amazing depth of aroma. Still lean but man does it have breadth. Juicy and clean. Like a Riesling razor. 9.2 to 9.3. Juicy, luscious and lime infused finish. — 2 years ago
