Just drinking perfectly. Fully expressive. A joy. No formal notes. What a wine.

Aug 25th, 2023Gorgeous and ebullient nose. Green veggie and herbs and super mineral. Zippo fruit. Some confectionery herbal aromas as well. Wow so good. Palate is rich and ripe but has so much nervous energy and purity. Lovely herbal and vegetable flavors as well and super clean and sappy. German whites under $30>>>>>>>>

Apr 10th, 2023Always such a stunning aroma. Herbal, vegetables, huge aromas and so precise. So juicy and what acidity. This is a stunning version. So juicy and so fresh. Linear and unreal clarity. What a brilliant version.

1 person found it helpfulMar 17th, 2013What a great wine and terrific value. Nose is closed yet rich and floral. Some mineral. But a sense of something is there. If yet unformed. Palate though is fully formed and gorgeous. Juicy fruit. Clean and mineral. Balanced and lip smacking with great structure. Great wine. Hits above its weight.

Jun 24th, 2017Lovely nose of sugar snap peas, clean minerals, pine resin, salty extract and some bitter citrus. Terrific purity and concentration with a very delicate structure. Awesome texture. So sappy, pretty and delicate. Wonderful wine that shows what a few years of age can do for a "minor" wine. Nice enough acid and good length.

Apr 7th, 2015Little rough and tumble out of the gates but after 15-20 minutes of air this is beautiful. Nose is all intense deep minerality. With air there is a sense of something ripe or sweetish. The palate is rich but balanced by great acidity and and a serious swath of minerality with a citrus pithy finish. Terrific.
