Wow, what a nose. Green apple, confectionary. Slate. Some funk but a sweet appealing funk. Think peak James Brown. A nose that can only come from the Mosel. Man that palate is foinnne, Herb. Super juicy, spritzy and very concentrated. Pure and nimble. Sweet lime. Perfect balance. Awesome lime sweet tart on the finish. Just terrific!

Killer nose. Blast of lime. Big slate. So clean and masterful clarity. Herbs, peppermint. So clear. Fresh rain. Layered. Multidimensional. Superb. Palate has a huge blast of lime sweetness on a hyper elegant frame and then pump out intense mineral lime zestiness that builds on the finish and just lingers. Terrific complexity in the mid palate and what a finish. Massive structure and grip here. So serious. Long, palate staining finish. Great now. Greater down the road. This wine is epic as it gets for Feinherb. Such intensity. Grip. Such structure. Brilliant. 19 is the truth. After air this gets so filigreed and elegant. The real deal.

Blind I would totally guess kabinett. Whatever. A rose by any other name …

Nose is confectionery sugar. Green apple.

Palate is very fresh. Green apple. A touch of jolly rancher. Good tartness.
