  July 29, 2023 - Minerals and tropical fruits in the bouquet. On the palate minerals, some sweetness and beautiful, slightly drying in the finish. Very rich wine.

  I guessed the winery but no idea with vintage and site. Acidity driven and reluctant for that vintage but surely not the most elegant one from BW. 92-93

  September 25, 2021 - Gaisböhl (Clairmount): Part of a vertical spanning 2003-2017. 13.5% abv, AP 25. Broken cork. NOSE: crust of spices, glossy saccharides, nuts, and fruit acid. A lobe of ballast appears to be holding umami derived from crispy roasted fowl skins, perhaps previously marinated in Liquid Aminos. Fruit is present in support of the structural show: dried yellows, greens, and drupes.

  January 6, 2018 - Wonderful balance of minerality, acidity and fruit. Scent of tangerine, apricot and sweet almond, long aftertaste. Ready to drink now for the next two to three years.

  December 6, 2013 - From 75cl, crumbly cork. Best 2 hours after opening, at about 14C. On opening distinct SO2 on the nose veiling the fine white/yellow fruit action —this took more than an hour to blow off. Vividly acidic entry, an undefinable kaleidoscope of tropical (wild, ripe acidity!) and European fruit (fresh apricots, just picked). Crunchy, almost rock-salty minerality on the mid-palate and a very long, tongue punishing finish (like running your tongue down a very long piece of black slate which had been used to chop the limes for margaritas before having a passion fruit and a pineapple rubbed across it). Almost as outstanding as my previous bottle; great wine. Just don't P+P, this needs time in the glass. 92P
