Wow. What a high toned nose, peach, peach pit, citrus, superbly clean and pure. Iodine like minerality. Citrus zest. Lime zest. Super intense and bright palate, what a powerhouse, it is so packed. Pure. High toned. Explosion of tropical fruits. Massive structure, the cleanliness of this wine is stunning. What a finish of complex rock candy. Sweet saline. Citrus. Mineral sweetness. Lime blossom. Just a massive wine with huge extract, huge structure, huge texture, huge acids. Dramatic and coiled. Balanced, clean and elegant. Nice acid wash at the end. Cleans your palate.

Nose is so mineral. Almost gunsmoke. As it opens some florality.

Palate is a blast of minerality. Green apple. Laser like. So linear. Amazing. So pretty. So liquid flowers. As it opens you get this integrated mineral florality. Minerals from flower beds. Wow.

So Pfalzy

Wow. Nose is a mineralgasm on open. Some white flowers. Some fascinating stuff I can’t pinpoint.

Palate is great. Mineral. Perfect fruit. Like an idealized sweet lemon with perfect acidity (but not sweet). Amazingly delicious.

Finish is long, juicy. Elegantly tart.

This is utterly magnificent.

When klundt nails it he’s a top winemaker.

Love from sight to swallow. Exotic, electric, wakes you up with a little smile. This is the riper face of dry riesling. Rays of yellow sunshine peeking through pillars of green skinned acid. Aromatic and perfumey, you can feel a little heat in your nostrils. From lime and gasoline, we're introduced to tropical things. Papaya, dried mango. Raging acid to keep you alert and awake and ready to do whatever.

Nice intro
@Lyle Fass !

Glorious citrus, tart citrus applecot fruit. Minerals almost aerosolized into nasal cavity. I’m considering lying to my wife lest I lose a few sips. $32 Fass selections, Thanks Lyle, Cheryl, Matt
