Nose is is all juuuuust ripe citrusy, pulverized rocks, rock dust, lime blossom and saline, airy minerals. Palate is bracing with classic 21 Nahe acids and awesome juuuuuust ripe citrus fruit and lime zest. Nose gets confectionary with air and some appealing underarm funk. Super dry and mineral palate. Like just so severe but I love it. With air now smarties on the nose and juicy apricot on the palate and some lovely blood orange.

Super mineral nose. Wow. Deep and finely etched minerals. No fruit. Salty. Apricot, peach and white cherry. Honey? Complexity. Unbelievable finesse and crazy acidity and superb minerality. Really long finish. Tons of complexity and a GG like character. Inner mouth aromas. Salty and harmonious. Lovely. Stunning. What a value here. Superb baby GG.

@Delectable Wine this is just Steinterrasen. Thanks!

Nose is delightful, refined and very classy. Stony. Mineral. Confectionary. Airy and expansive. Salty as well. Really nice depth here. Wow what a a chewy delight. Textured, some peach and apple fruit, light spice and almost a tannic impression on the finish. Wow, what texture, grip and concentration here. Juicy and so so mineral. Compact and so much structure. Just terrific. Amazing clarity here. Brilliant stuff. Showing better than the baby GG’s today and I think this is a level below. Just a superb wine.

I am happy as a clam! Racy and minerally. I wish we could do this sort of mineral in the US.

Nose shows fruity, nutty, petrol. Macadamia nuts. High acidity on the palette, poached pear. Ginger. Lovely with SE Asian food.

Lovely bouquet of minerals, candied citrus and white flowers.
On the palate just a tad sharp and indiscriminate, but otherwise very enjoyable.
