A stunning bottle of Mosel Pinot. Deep, penetrating nose of dark cherry, slate, moss, mid season cherry, black cherry and some blackberry flower. Tree bark and such complexity. Has more to tell that is for sure. Wild mint starts to develop. Palate is deep and structured with amazing sap and density and Grand Cru grip and structure. Pure, balanced and lovely black and red cherries with velvety tannins that are perfectly ripe. So pure and so deep. Incredible length and sap. Finish is a mineral wash and accented with blackberries and darker red cherries. This is young but very promising. So long and such well defined fruit. — 3 years ago

I thought this was great from the start but very intense at the same time. It'll be quite beautiful down the road but it opened with a bit of lime/citrus notes on day one and then on day two a tiny bit of petrol started to come through. Great mouth feel on both days and oh so dry. — 8 years ago

Holee shit. Best nose of the morning. Smells like a scene in nature. Holy moly. Honeyed apricots. So so insane. Minerals. Peach. So vivid, so precise, icing on a cake. Confectionery but also a scene in nature. Wow. Saffron? Smells sweet like but is bone dry. Juicy and pure, so fresh and so compact. Structured and dense. Crystalline purity. Compact. Stunning. Wow acid. Cheeks tingle and tongue does not tingle. Amazing freshness. This is superb and dense, but so nimble and elegant. The length is endless. This is as brilliant as anything I’ve ever had at fass selections. — 3 years ago

Wow. Love these. Wow is that mineral. Stunning mineral depth. Just dizzying. Amazing. Tree bark. Citrus rind. Almost a crystalline purity. Again, so airy like a scene in nature. Super complex nose. Maybe a 9.8. Wow, that is insane. That’s a 9.8 palate. It’s ripe but so crystalline and pure. Focused and nimble. Insane concentration and purity. Dancing pitter patter of acid. So so delicate. Finish is just insane and insane. Early season apricot. Mirabelle plum. Wow. Cleansing acids. Not painful and gently caressing. Insane concentration and power but at the same time it’s super nimble and round. Genius. — 3 years ago

By the glass. Barb said aromas of Fairy Floss. (Aussies who have been to rural Agricultural Shows will be familiar with Fairy Floss - a sugary whipped confection). Also a note of Lemon and petrol, but oh so young - yet to display its potential. One of the least sweet Ausleses I have ever had. Great refreshment and lively acid. — 6 years ago

Beautifully evolved aromas of candied peaches, orange rind and slatey minerality, this is still vivid and sports great and lush fruit on the palate, finishing with positive drive and strong presence. From Magnum. — 10 years ago
