Community Tasting Notes 20

  November 24, 2022 - Intense petrol. Hint of white peach. The palate is instantly tart with dominant notes of green apple moving to lime zest. Mmm, slate and stone, so salty, so zingy, so fresh and so vibrant. At age 15 this is still quite primary with early secondary flavors coming out. Silky, delicate and precise.

  September 6, 2019 - hasn't lost a thing in the last decade, other than a touch of the sweetness, as one would expect. delicate, ephemeral and delightful.

  December 26, 2016 - This is ripe, not so much a racy acidity and minerals style, this has lots of riesling flavour, excellent with food.

  March 12, 2016 - Man, Willi does not disappoint. We all swooned at those nose - so light, crisp and clear. Beautiful aromas of apple, lime, spice, minerals, and some grass/herbs/mint, and honey. The palate wasn't quite as good or consistent: some tastes were excellent, but some were a touch sweet/heavy. Lots of apple, some honey - the best sips had that electric zing showing lime and minerality. Also some herbal notes. The finish varied like the palate. Maybe with another 5 years this would have locked into place in the lighter and more racy vein. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 4.5/6, Finish - 4.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 16/20 (best sips probably 16.5-17/20).
