Previous bottle opened a few months ago was very tired, but tonight we are back to form. Plenty of ripe and lean orchard fruit with a drop of lemon. Lots coming through for a village wine, both in terms of flavors as well as density. Very good now. — 3 months ago

Medium deep garnet, ruby core with medium light garnet rim . This is quite meaty and deep on the nose , with earthy dark cherry , porcini , sweet blackberry and spiced sous bois . On the palate this is quite severe and serious , darker fruits , ripe blackberry , cherry and hint of blackcurrant, herbal hints. Quite gritty , slightly drying tannins , fresh acidity . Earthy , dusty dark cherry edged finish , ok medium length. Quite ambitious for a village and arguably not ready yet , tannins need a little more time to integrate. From now and over the next 5 years, if not longer . — 4 months ago

Lovely smell and full mouthfeel. A real kick from the tannins to end it off (a tad too much without food). — 2 years ago

I'm in new territory and I really like the offering here. Nice smoked meat and big dark berry . Fairly approachable out of the gate and will only improved with time. — 7 months ago

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — a year ago

This is finally drinking.

Nose: fleeting endless white flowers. Deep. Dense. Endless. Liquid white flowers. Insane.

Palate: a perfectness. Silky. A touch of richness. A presence. Magnificent. Reverberates.

A perfectness about this. A gleaming golden harmony that transcends any tasting note and exceeds the limits of language. .

Perhaps something is off with my palate today, but tasting one of the world‘s great rieslings was a massive disappointment. Can’t get past the extraction and the insanely high alcohol that dwarfs the moderate acidity and faint minerality. Highly extracted phenolics. Least disappointing of the lineup, but worst once you factor in price — 7 months ago

This bottle brought me tremendous joy. My last bottle a few months back was over the hill and it really bothered me because I felt this could easily go 10+ years when I tasted it on release. This is a perfect example of there are no great wines just great bottles. Lovely scents of apple, lime and vanilla. A wonderfully integrated palate with a finish that makes you think premier cru. — 7 months ago

Opulent and hedonistic nose and entry. Wonderfully balanced feinherb/demi-sec mouthfeel on the midpalate and finish.
Complex and delightful wine, showing better on day 2.
