November 21, 2023 - Decanted for about 2 hours.
Nose: Fragrant peaches, lime, elder flower and orange blossom at first. Crushed stones, savoury herbs and floral aromas follow soon after. Lemon zest, hints of marzipan and nutmeg towards the end.
Taste: Lime, peaches and grapefruit on the palate. Notes of savoury herbs and crushed stones afterwards. Very fresh acidity, slight salinity and noticeable viscosity. On the finish the wine shows herbs, crushed stones, nutmeg and peaches.
Tremendous nose and palate, the wine is well structured and indicative of ripe Wachau Riesling. This wine shows the great potential of the 2021 vintage very well. Very good aging potential, decanting definitely recommended for drinking young.1 person found this helpful Comment -

May 31, 2023 - Medium yellow color. A bright and inviting nose that shows a bouncy mix of yellow apples, kiwi, quince, along with fresh tennis balls, mountain stream down slate rocks, crushed schist, with these honey and almond skin tones (seriously, a lot of cool stuff happening here). Pure sums it up nicely on the palate, as this just has a vibrant, clean, focused appeal, with flavors of limes, papayas, crunchy green apples. Complex elements of honey, clover, stony minerals, and flint add complexity and they tingle the tongue on the finish. This has a long life ahead of it – what a beaut!
