Community Tasting Note

Tony Ling Likes this wine:

Thursday, March 29, 2018 - PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass ("Fruit" day): Deep lemon, very dense for a white wine. Nose is quite pronounced with notes of yellow fruits and some tropical fruits. Clear botrytis influence. Some very slight bitterness to the finish. I believe it will evolve significantly over the next few hours and decided to hold on.

7 hours upon opening into normal tasting glass and Burgundy glass: Very densely packed on the nose with super ripe yellow fruits and golden tropical fruits like pineapples, some hints of cream. Very saline with the signature 'smoky mineral' on the finish. Big-bodied and very serious Riesling indeed.

Reminds me of the Wittmann GGs 2008 but has a spicy element towards the back end of the palate. Very impressive though to me this ultimately lacked the elegance and extra flair that differentiates the 'very goods' and the 'greats' in the category. 91-92 points.
