Ziereisen
Jaspis Nägelin Chardonnay
Baden, Germany

Outrageous, utterly distinctive nose of hazelnut, iodine, quarry salt, limestone, butterscotch and a touch of sweet oak. The palate is juicy, concentrated and incisive, with terrific acidity, perfect balance and explosive fruit. So precise, so complex, with a salty, echoing finish that keeps building. There is no other Chardonnay like this.

Just unique and crazy. No words. Puligny, but feral. Stanky. So elegant. Looooong.

Enjoyed this much more than the Gutedel. There is still the characteristic diesel Ziereisen-note but there is plenty more going on in the background. Much easier to pair and very enjoyable!

Just too stanky / eggy at this point. Otherwise this could be a 1er Cru white Burgh. Bought at the winery and tasted in the US again - suitcase import. Ziereisen is probably in regards to diversity of his portfolio the best winemaker in Germany right now - I tasted 20 wines or so. Over time will post them. I am behind and Delectable is incredible slow these days.
