Dec 23rd, 2022This is so lovely and so in the zone. Amazing nose. Superb fruit complexity and mineral, apricot, very airy and precise, mirabelle plum, almost like a plucot. Dazzling aromas. So complex. Palate is rich and ripe with wonderful depth, texture and complexity. Such wonderful structure and that 13 intensity. Beautiful acid spine and texture with just insane complexity on the finish. Long and saline.

Crazy floral and elegant as well as strong and consistent, fresh, stony, with vivid white and stone fruits. Can't wait to have a bottle at home to analyze more over time...excellent from this vantage point.

Outstanding! More minerality and longer in the palate then the Kühling-Gillot. Curious to drink it young once!

Nose is deep. Dried peaches. As it opens - pure nectar. Elite.
Palate is very fresh. Stone fruits. Mineral. Delicious. Doesn’t taste old. Good deliciousness. Stupid fresh.
Hmm. This could be over the moon great in 5 years if the palate catches up to the nose. I’d suggest an hour decant at this point.

2018 Großes Gewächs tasting
Quite open already, with some shy apricot & floral aromas... on the palate rounder yet with the amazing mineral acidity you’d expect. A white tea mouthfeel as well. Already drinkable but will hold for years to come. Beautiful.
