Beautiful intense, clear nose with lots of pear. Also very pure and fine on the palate, very mineral, lots of extract, very fresh, good length. Give it a bit more time to fully shine. 93+

Clear, pale golden color, lots of tartaric acid. Very deep and rich nose with ripe fruit. On the palate very precise, deep, rich and dense. Beautiful structure, lots of extract. Spicy. Lacks a bit of acidity to be truly great. Way too young, needs 3-5+ years minimum. 93-94+

Blend of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. Clear, pale golden color with green hue. Interesting nose, very floral, blossoms, pure pear, spicy and complex.

Glass: Schölzle Universal
Clear, pale golden color. Very fine, almost ethereal nose. On the palate very sweet that needs to come from the alcohol and extract, because it has only 4,3 gr/l residual sugar. Salty. Good grip, density and depth. Very long and beautiful. 94+

Clear, medium golden color. Very deep, intense, rich and complex nose. On the palate deep, rich, bold, round and creamy. Also a bit hot, but nevertheless elegant and with a good balance. Lots of tropical fruit, not much botrytis. Juicy and spicy, very long finish. Keep it for a decade. 94+

Glass: Schölzle Universal
Clear, medium golden color. Deep, bold and intense nose. You can almost feel the extract of this wine through the nose. On the palate very hedonistic. Lots of ripe apricot and other ripe fruit, botrytis, creamy texture. Lots of extract, very good balance, never hot. Very long finish. Give it at least a decade, better two to fully emerge. Great potential! 93+++
