A stunning Riesling. Minerals, creamed corn, spice and slate. So aromatic. Palate is ripe and rich with crazy acidity and the best balance between the opulence of the site and the acids of the vintage. Long finish. So precise. As this airs the nose gets so spicey and complex. So concentrated and explosive. Yet nimble. Amazing finish.

This is sizzlingly mineral. Yellow fruits, apricots, rock dust, so so mineral. God damn. So textured. Juicy. Most fruity. Super mineral. Big but fine and balanced. More elegant than Wehlener Sonnenuhr. So much acidify and concentrated. Stunning and pure.

In the interest of science. The extract and intensity on this wine are off the charts. On the nose: refined peach skin, tangerine, sweet tea, ultra-sweet meyer lemon; words do not do justice to the aromatic intensity. On the palate: acidity that crackles and sizzles, but balanced by a gravitas; supremely elegant, cloudlike meyer lemon and ripe peach, soft lime and a finish charting a smooth gradient from dense to evanescent. Absolutely stellar and one of the best wines I have had this year.
