Outrageous. Nose is all petroleum, honey, dried and wet mushrooms and so much umami. Palate has energy for days and unreal finesse and my god this is juicy. A real classically styled Auslese before Oechsle inflation. — a month ago

Pale yellow.
Grapefruit, lemon, pear, ginger, green herbs, rockdust and wonderful hints of orangeblossom!
Crystalline, bright, elegant. Beautiful ‘feinherb’-balance: just a hint of sweetness in the opening, meets racy acidity, and a clean dry finish.
Lovely wine, good quality, very quaffable at 10% ABV. — 7 months ago

If a wine does not meet your (high) expectations, is it a disappointment?? 🤔. Yeah, everything is relative. This six year old Gran Malbec was still super tight. Sharp, spicy oak tannins (lots of new French oak?) kept anything possibly underneath totally hidden. Although some greener notes came through early on and again later after about 2-3 hours of opening. So, yeah. Not balanced, very intense, limited lingering and single note. Agung will help for sure but not confident if this wine will ever fully shine. But don’t be down on Pulenta. Fantastic winery. We will visit this fall (their Spring) as Spoken Wines. Talking about Spoken Wines, have you seen our latest video story of Hartenberg?? And their incredible commitment to regenerative viticulture, lead by… cows!! Beautifully explained and demonstrated right in front of you by Wilhelm Joubert, the viticulturist. Check it out. And don’t miss the surprise at the end 😁. www.spokenwines.com — a year ago

Shared w friends & paired with strong, savory & spicy Jollof rice, braised chicken in coconut milk. Gorgeous copper orange tints; on nose tangerine & pomelo pith, heart of palm with those citrus notes carried into palate; sweet almond paste; silky, enveloping texture too, which makes pairing w spicy food so natural. Just a lovely drinking experience of a 33yro Spätlese — 10 months ago
