April 25, 2024 - VDP logo on what feels and looks like a premium 5cm long cork. Medium yellow, but not the brightest. Takes some time to open-up, revealing, after about an hour, some grilled peanut notes mixed with pineapple. But, not as forward apropos of both these characteristics as the same label in the 2005 vintage. Some soy here as well. The palate didn't impress for the 1st hour, but it develop thereafter. Although the alcohol is lower by 1.5 % points to 12.5 compared to the 2005 version, the wine feels harsh, acidic and simple in the mouth, especially as it is a VDP Otswein. Good, but joyless. Day 2, with two small pours remaining in the bottle: better than on the 1st day, not as raw and challenging, but showing an earthier side, with spicy pineapple notes on the nose and having a rounder feel in the pungent, more open and concentrated mouth. Between very good and very good plus on the 2nd day, it would greatly benefit by decanting. Should hold well for at least three years.
