Lovely pithy fruits on the nose. Apricot, nectarine and stunning, wafting minerality.
Palate is rich, Rheinhessen rich, but with bracing acidity and just such a generous texture. Showing so well cold and out of the gates. Let’s see what happens when it warms and gets air. — 13 hours ago

This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.

Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.

Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.

Very nice. Has that great tension you always hope to see in Riesling. Quite a ripe nose. Great body and acid. Just that hint of sweetness, more a suggestion than a presence. — 2 months ago
