Huge mirabelle plum, tangerine, citrus, huge spices and fruit skin. Confectionary, airy and heavenly. Complex and expansive. This has the roundness of Keller. Savory in the nose. Rainer and white cherries on the palate but with superb minerality. Vibrating. Amazingly refined. So pure. So elegant. I mean this is crazy elegant than snaps with the sap on the finish. This is refined like Keller. Super pure. Super ripe and yet so mineral. Chewy, so pure. Finish just dissipates. So so mineral. This wine used to be a wild child but now it is a mature person. Gorgeous. So juicy. A drink me now wine. Wow.

Stunning nose. Citrus, confectionary, tangerine, so aromatic. Tight, complex and citrusy with lovely acidity. So fresh. Intense structure. Deep. Needs 5 years.

Day 2 notes. Citrus, potpourri, flowers, so serene and aromatic. Peach and apricot as well. Palate is stunningly elegant and fresh with superb harmony and cut. Long citrusy finish. Complex, chewy and dense all while remaining elegant. Long finish. Terrific.
