Wow. An amazing wine

Nose: so sexy. The sexiest Chablis I’ve ever smelled. Just blasts the nose.

Palate: shockingly beautiful acidity. There’s fruit but it’s all about the sweet minerals and acidity. So bright. Wow.

Cherry flower on the nose.

Cherry with some bitterness on the palate. Classic liaison.

That sexy interplay between sweet fruit, bitterness, acidity and minerality. No one else on earth does it like this. No one.

A very ripe vintage here.

Nose: tropical fruits. Yellow flowers.

Palate: tropical. Mineral of course. Delicious. Not as razor like as other vintages.

Needs 2-3 years or a serious decant now. Day 3 much better. It’s gone from goofily tropical to seriously tropical. Great balance. You get that weltner razor like balance. Bravo. More lemon on the palate with elegant 33% pineapple.

If you don’t love this wine you need to have your head examined.

Utterly magnificent.

Nose: perfect apricots. As this opens magnificent dense complexity. Mesmerizing. Met hints of dried apricots take this to another level. Almost like aged piesporter goldtropfchen. Like a sexy nasal caress. A hint of sluttiness. But just a hint. Damask. More elegant dense peach as it opens.

Palate: apricots. Peach. Powerfully mineral. Utterly delicious. Almost savory. Unreal. So f….ing good.

Prototypical rheinhessen Riesling. Tyson vs Ali. This is Tyson. Tyson in ip man.

Magnificent.

Nose: floral but elegantly so. Lovely. Yellow flowers. As this opens a white and yellow flower melange. Really close to burgundy weight and elegance wise. Really. Close.

Palate: delicious. Fine minerals. Touches of stone fruit. Great balance. Peach pit. Lovely sprightliness. Magnificent.

Long elegant finish. Mineral. Hint of brine. Almost chablisien. Mountain stream.

Nose : pure lemon. Mineral. So clean.

Palate : amazing texture. Delicious. Lemon rock candy elements (obviously dry). As this opens the density is more apparent.

45 minutes in this is approaching “oh shit” levels. The nose is more intense. Penetrating. Long. Which is not a word usually used to describe aromatics. The palate is really intense. Like drinking a fast moving river.
