Nose - quite shy, but unmistakably Riesling - not dissimilar to a warmer region like the Rheinhessen. Mineral and herbaceous at the moment, with the fruit very much a supporting act. What great potential!
Palate - huge concentration, especially on day two! Saline, tart, like an incredibly fresh lime dressed with salt - am I drinking tequila? Also so herbaceous and floral, with hints of lavender and even blue fruits.
More reserved than the powerful, fabulous 2019, but possessing a similar level of clarity in both the nose and palate, with tremendous salinity, impressive structure and a long finish. It feels a touch early to be drinking this - even with a decant - so I look forward to breaching this case again in a few years’ time.

Hell yes. Flashing some nice warm rubber on the nose, tickling the palate with a vibrant minerality. This wine has a lot to say and if you are on the fence about whether or not this is worth your time, it certainly is if you like your rieslings in a complex, layered and bright expression.

Definitely riesling, but wearing a thicker coat then I prefer. Delicious however.
