So good. Freakish in the right way. Nose of herbs, keuper, minerals and more. A bit closed but it’s also a bit cold. Palate is just killing it. Juicy and clean with awesome texture and density. Sapid and almost tannic on the finish. So much going on. Insane inner mouth aromas. Really elegant. Unreal length. Just a rock star. Will be back once nose opens up. Unreal complexity and finish. Gorgeous. Nose is wide open now after around 10 minutes. Stunning. Lanolin, herbs and lemon lime. Expansive and so much depth. So good. — 17 days ago

Needs an hour decant.

N: white flowers. Faintly tropical. Intense white flowers as this opens.

P: crisp. Mineral. Delicious. Silky peach. Very elegant as it opens. More an enveloping hug of flavor than a wall. More profound less powerful. So silky. So perfect. Perfect mountain stream.

An hour in this is German Puligny. From sylvaner. Yes. I know.

Like a 10 minute finish. Lemon peel. Savory a bit.

Sick.

Fantastic. Brilliant palate. Superb integration and confident. So elegant. Mineral on an elemental level and such luscious mouthfeel with such a nice touch of lush opulence. Masterful. Aromas are a bit mute as it was in the back of the fridge. Lol. — 3 months ago

Confectionery aromas but also a richness. Gorgeous, complex aromas. Spice, cotton candy, umami. Palate is rich, ripe but also has that bee sting quality. Unreal purity and balance. Super clean. What an opulent mid palate. Stunningly delicious. — 2 months ago

Such a gorgeous wine. Nose is wintergreen, lentils, yellow curry, ripe apples and more. So mineral. Juicy with just super crisp acids and so long. Refined like you wouldn’t believe. Terrific inner mouth aromas and such chunky minerality. So juicy. — 7 months ago
