Petrol, hint of blossoms on the nose. Palate is mineral, unripe stone fruits, high acid, intense. Closed even after hours. Tough as nails, impenetrable.

Nose is intensely mineral. Quiet a bit. Floral, herbal. Shy. Palate is closed, but powerful, dense and concentrated. Barely any fruit. So clean.

This is a wonderful wine. The rich mouthfeel gives way to a bright and long mineral finish. An immensely flexible wine. This will match with your hard-to-match dishes, like salads with assertive dressings.

Really a stunning Spatlese trocken which is unapproachable at this point. Needs years in the cellar. See @Andrew Schirmer and @Lyle Fass notes.
