Expressive nose, showcasing honeyed pineapples, vanilla and exotic spice notes, beautifully flowing to an expansive palate where acidity is maintained and the purity of fruit lovely. Sadly it's short and abruptly cut off, but still - considering the vintage- well done.

First bottle of the night, with our German feast of sauerbraten, flammekueche, dumplings and cabbage. Showing marvelously with stone fruit, petrol, wet stones and vibrant acidity

Nice nose and acidity. Can feel pearls of moisture inside the cheeks. Peaches and vanilla amongst the tang. Pleasing but not amazing. Nice up front but poor on the turnaround.
