Top Notes For
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of four days and largely consistent throughout…though maybe leaning towards Day 3-4. The 2012 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart tropical and orchard fruit: pineapple, peach cup, tangerine, petrol, minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. What a banger! AlZINGer does it again. These beg for some time in the cellar but few have the patience. Wow. Drink now through 2032 easy.

Feb 3rd, 2025BAM! As soon as you tilt your head forward you are met with an onslaught of orchards, citrus and minerals. Very assertive in the mouth with wonderful acidity to guide you through a very long finish.
