November 15, 2023 - I think I liked this a bit more a few years ago - this was still a very good showing, though perhaps a bit more advanced in its flavour development than I would have liked. Lots of smoky and savoury notes here, though the fruit seemed a bit lighter and less intense/electric than I remember a few years back. I'll have to check into my '07 Klaus soon.
December 17, 2022 - Meget høy kvalitet. Kan lagres mye lenger.
March 21, 2021 - The final bottle, unfortunately. While this bottle was more rough and ready, not to mention reticent, than my previous to last one. It took a while to unfold despite its age, but when it did it outshone the Grüner Veltliner from the same year, producer and vineyard. We were eight around the table, and the decanter with this wine was emptied while most other wines, including the Grüner, left something in their decanters.
March 20, 2021 - Rich and developed aromas with ripe citrus. After a while more floral and elegant riesling aromas. Full bodied and rich in the mouth.
January 13, 2021 - Liquid gold. Nose shows a lot of floral notes: honeysuckle, hyacinth, orange blossom and bergamot. Dry honey, candied citrusfruit and tangerine. In the mouth it's full-bodied and mineral, contains a wonderful bitterness, deep and spicy acidity (like pickles?), orange liquour, apricotpreserve, wet wool, talcum and crushed rocks.
This is big, impressive lengthy and well-balanced.
Deeeeeelicious!
December 29, 2020 - I judged a previous bottle of this lace-like and soft voiced. That was before I had a Mosbacher 2009 Freundstück. Compared to that, this wine is intense and fruity. Slightly marked by petroleum too, but not to any significant extent. Good wine, though. I guess context is all.
August 22, 2020 - TCA, bummer
July 20, 2020 - Excellent wine with rich fruit yet fine and lace-like structure and expression. It does not shout, but whispers its harmonies and wisdom. A wine to contemplate and cherish.
July 13, 2020 - Golden yellow, sturdyl egs. Color to rim. jasmine, pink grapefruit, kaffir lime leaves. Petrol very muted. Medium acid, full bodied. This beauty has aged well. With soba noodle salad. Great pairing on the weekday.
June 6, 2020 - Excellent, and fully mature. Will probably last some years still, but this is fully rounded out: harmonious, deep and complex.
