WXTP Tasting III (TH's Place): Decent. It had a very stony, minerally nose, with a touch of mushrooms, some white fruit and a hint of sweet lemons - rather reserved, but I liked the profile here. The palate was still very tight, not showing much beyond a layer of white fruit lined with citrusy notes and a very minerally finish, where a little floral note peeked out. Very delineated, focused, but it needs a lot more time. At the moment, it is decent drink, but rather uncomplicated and not all that interesting. There is some promise here though, and I thought it was perhaps just a touch better than the entry-level Donnhoff QbA that preceded it. No harm drinking now with appropriate food, but I would hold over the next few years.

Well, kinda wonderful, kinda sulfur, kinda not so sure. Split that in thirds and take it to the bank.
