Yowza. Texture is off the rails. Lemon flesh and green apples and insanely crystalline purity. Long and complex. Lime candy.

Ageless, so incredibly fresh, the old Ludes wines never disappoint. Great poise and balance, just the sweet side of halbtrocken. Dense fruit, mouth coating. Beautiful wine.

1 person found it helpfulAug 14th, 2022Another age defying brilliant wine from Ludes. Nose has spice, leather and smoke. Wow. Sawdust. Floral. Confectionary. Elite. So so complex. Just dizzying. Some green apple and apricot. Jellied. Layered. Smells just incredible. Hint of petrol. Palate is to die for. Juicy and complex and stains the mouth with confectionary flavors based on minerals. Like a rock candy explosion, then a juiciness and serene, delicate but precise texture. Terrific mid palate density and wonderful leather, smoke and spice flavors and even a hint of foie/game. Elite. So great. As this airs the nose gets truffles and so so complex. Porcini. Sick. Palate is getting younger with air. More grip, more density, more structure and concentration. Finishes dry. This old school Auslese. 9.6 to 9.7 now.

One of the best things I’ve had in recent memory. Lychee, passion fruit, sapote - some of the most beautiful fruit in one place
