Just a terrific wine and site. Enormously complex nose of crushed, dried, candied lemons and just a huge waft of such precise and clean minerality. Wet soil. Wet rocks. Lemon of the gods. Palate is just stunning. So elegant and mineral like nothing else. Sweet desiccated candied lemons on the palate all wrapped in silk. Terrific purity and intensity and such lovely powdered minerals in the finish and then a blast of the unique role and swee lemon character. It finishes, rocky, savory and mineral. So long. Epic structure and length. A masterpiece that will only get better with air. Unreal mouthfeel and texture. Just stunning. On days 2 and 3 this went from strength to strength. Stunning balance, purity and mouthfeel and astonishing length. Maybe a 9.9.

Huge fruit. Apricot, peach skin, confectionery aromas. Elegant and ripe. Very very pure. Complex and concentrated. Stunning purity and finesse. Wow. So so superb. Long and opulent. Lovely density yet freshness

Wow. Deep, mineral, super complex aromas. Stunning. Love love this site. Pineapple, but juuuust ripe. Palate is massive, intense, superbly mineral and dry dry dry. Wow is this deep. The nose has a breadth and pungency that is trademark Bastei. Really dense and chewy. Barely ripe Meyer Lemon. Pulls off the sweet and sour thing so well. Delicate yet big. What a massive structure, depth and concentration. Sappy and structure to burn. Really takes over your mouth. This is glorious. Will likely greatly improve with air. What a looong finish. After air the nose gets that hand lotion. Sandy. Salty. Roundness to the nose. Backend is so young. Needs 5 years.

Somewhat soft and drinking great right now.

Jun 25th, 2014Incredible wine, having it at the vineyard makes it even more special. This wine grows in a high concentration volcanic/copper terroir. The nose is different than anything you’ve held and the flavors keep going and going. Drinking this 9year old brings strong flavors and enhances the minerals of the land around Gut Hermannsberg. If you can find a bottle enjoy!!!
