First bottle in over a year. What a nose. Unreal cherries. So clean. Effusive. Bright. Alluring. Lots of dust, crushed rocks and earthiness. So so so pretty. Wow, hyper elegant palate with amazing richness but such a light touch on the back end of the mid palate and the finish. There’s a hit of opulence at the front end of the mid then it gets so scary elegant. What a wine. Elegant tannins and great complexity. Bright red fruits. So lovely. Amazing purity. A 9.35 now. So close to 9.4. Let’s see if air makes it better.

9.4 easy. Fruit got sweeter and more defined. Stunner. Go Max

This is the apogee of Red Riesling. Red wedding. Billy Idol would be impressed. Red cherries. Sour cherries. Bergamot. Red currents. Spice and engaging herbaciousness. Just so transparent and nimble. Loads of earthiness and dust. So complex and alive. Hint of citrus rind. Gorgeous. Palate is so juicy, energetic and engaging. Omg this is red Riesling on the palate like nothing else. So pure. So transparent. Fruit had a hint of sweetness but it’s awash in minerality. So complete and balanced. Just zen on the palate. It’s so complex, yet so so delicious and just incredible drinkable with dynamic freshness and wonderful energy and length. Lithe tannins that are so refined.
