Feb 8th, 2023Powerful white that invades your mouth
Grillée, hay, almond
Not overly complex, but long and enjoyable
From memory not the best vintage, but still absolutely a winner
What else can compete with white Burgundy at this level?

Beautiful golden bright colour
Intense nose
Pear, citron
Floral, Scotch broom, jasmine too and camomile
Violet and wisteria
Honey and hay
Blonde tobacco, white choc
Macadamia, nutmeg, ginger, little pistachio as well, turmeric
The palate is pristine
Full, but easy
Heaps of mineral in the aftertaste
Extremely long
Definitely my favourite Wachau vineyard and producer
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still ten to fifteen years ahead

Nuanced and sexy! Slightly oxidated and notes of pineapple, citrus oil, and rocks.

Jun 25th, 2018Large scaled but balanced. Better now compared to on release; has fleshed out with hints of dried peach, but underlying acidity is enough for balance. Not a keeper, though.

Jan 1st, 2017Tasted from Magnum. Intoxicating nose and on the palate, too! Floral orchard fruits, sweet spices, and minerals galore. Powerful and rich and precise!

Oct 4th, 2016Had it January 2009.
Apple and citrusy plus millions of shades of minerality.
Freshness that cleanse everything also the Ermitage we drank before😜. Very fleshy, but vertical.
Still 15-20 years of life...or maybe more.
