Wow. Martin’s signature wine in my opinion. Huge, complex and serene nose. So elegant and expansive. Airy, layered and ethereal. Stunning. 9.8 nose. Just has that extra. Confectionery. Grapefruit. Apricot. Wow. Smells like Riesling grown in chevalier montrachet. One of the most beautiful noses on a young Müllen ever. Genius. It’s so lifted, layered, complex and ethereal. Unreal minerality. Wow that palate is about as pure, elegant and lithely structured as one can imagine. Such structure on the mid and the finish. Amazing concentration and density. Round and full of citrus pith, grapefruit, apricot and peach skin and minor peach flesh. Finish keeps going and going. Astonishing length. Wow. This will be better in 10 years.

On day 2 this is so refined and so brilliant. One of the best TH Sp Trockens ever. The complexity and completeness is just unreal. 9.7 to 9.8 overnight and one of the wines of the vintage.

Gorgeous nose. Creamy, citrus, green tea, green tropical fruit, unripe mango, lime zest. So complex. Stunning. Ethereal. Texture. Juicy, elegance and refinement. Not really formal notes.

What a nose. Citrus, perfume, spice. Crazy aromas. Palate is so tangy, salty and citrusy. Acid is off the charts. Superb purity. Juicy. Decadent yet stern and energetic. Linear and long. In a perfect space.

Huge spice, huge citrus, sweet grapefult, tangelo, ripe, perfumed, bigger, chewy, texturally stunning, so juicy, long. Pure. Zippy. Dry and energy, very pure, very intense. Young but so pure.

After 8 hours this is crazy. Unreal spice, super pure apricot, so airy and perfumed. Unreal clarity. Palate is so fine and elegant with tangy citrus fruit, clarity like nothing else and a long finish. Stunning.

Stunning nose of citrus, spice and green tea. Grapefruit. Pink grapefruit. Confectionary. Slate. Soupy and savory. Herbs. Green tea. First flush sencha. Urinal cake. Layered. Ethereal. Superstar nose. Just stunning. Palate is round and intensely concentrated and dazzlingly complex. Sappy and so refined. Wow. This is a powerful wine but so so elegant and refined. Peppery, spicy complexity. Juicy and complex. Dense and structured. Citrus, lime tart, stunning mineral density on the eternally long finish. Sick. Verging on 9.7 after 3 hours of air. Just insane wine. Will age 25+ years.

Thought I was getting a trip into RS but mid-palate shifts into this mineral thing and finishes dry. Wish I could spend more time with this. Maybe a Fass IIRC?
