What a wine. Nose is so complex with unreal aromas that honestly are at once mineral and at once so utterly unique I don’t have the vocabulary to grasp them. Apricots is about all I got but the nose is still a 9.7 even if I can’t explain why. Palate is vivacious, rich and elegant but with so much tannin from what I assume is skin contact but also reads as textured and fresh. So brilliant, complex and utterly distinctive. It’s rare I can’t find words to describe wine but here we are.

Silvaner Maria im weingarten Richard ostreicher.

This NEEDS a and hour decant. Do NOT a drink sooner.

Nose: yellow flowers. White flowers. Lovely. Really a great nose.

Palate: lemon Zest. Hints of tropical fruit. Mineral. A bit confused. Let’s see where this goes.

As this opens its like elite unoaked condrieu. Silky minerals. Just a hint of tropicality it not so much as to make it annoying. Elegant. Wow.

A great contrast to weltner which is denser and more impactful. This is way on the elegant side of things. Wispy.

Very distinctive
