Vintage 2012 | If any bottle tries to fall out of the climate cabinet, I won’t show any mercy - even when it’s Merkelbach. The verdict is: drink it.

Absolute dime. Had the most acidity and we’re happy there was a 94 on the table because this one shined above all the others. Clear winner

Vintage 1990 | Fuder 10/90. Small differences depending on the Fuder in which the wine was made. Gold in colour. Mango, banana and minerality in smell, much tension in taste, little bitterness in aftertaste.

Vintage 2002 | Family bbq | Amazingly young, awesome balance, probably a wine that can easily ripen 5, 10, 15 years further. Great acidity, liveliness.
