Getting better every time - Teutonic Precision
Jun 15th, 2024Didn’t really know what the heck was going on - at first it was white burgundy - like Pouilly Fuisse - very elegant tho fairly reductive nose of Granny Smith apples & lemon/lime notes along w/wet stones, rocks & gravel. Acid bomb on palate, just rigid angular razor sharp Teutonic precision. Again, not a ton of fruit here, very restrained. Maybe more Chablis-like? I appreciate the esoteric varietals here and the craftsmanship…

Tastes like a high quality white Burgundy. A profound wine of power and beauty. Blew all other 10 Gutedels/Chasselas‘s out of the water. Although my co-Tasters from Baden did not agree because his style and vinfication is different. Reductive. Quite stinky nose which blows off. Awesome, especially the next day. Hazelnut, plenty of acid, marble dust, lime, hint pine needles. Some tannins. Build to last. This is great! At a friends house in Freiburg im Breisgau.
