Nierstein, Rheinhessen, Germany
I love the Silvaner of Kai Schätzel. Wonderful nose of limestone, pithy vineyard peach and apricot, some cassis, so unique. Lavender. Stunning. Palate is rich and almost creamy but with mean acids on the finish. So pure. If a bit young. Terrific mouthfeel and serious power and concentration. I think this needs 3-4 years but it is all there.

Terrific nose. Very fresh. Aromas of sponti yeastiness, deep stony extract, and fresh citrus rind shavings. Lean, fresh, and minerally in the mouth. Great acids. Bone effing dry.

Very serious Sylvaner. Super mineral nose. Lemony and mineral on the palate. The essence of linear laser lemon on the finish. Feels like there is more here. Maybe needs 3 years. Likely worth the wait as it has stuffing and balance. Bought from Fass Selections.
