Deep and round. Yellow apples, pear, baked lemon, orange, honey, mango, wax, petroleum, minerals and smoke. Deep yellow coloure with sweet fruit and round acidaty to match from the start, with an almost oily medium+ long finish. Super interesring and pared nicely with norwagian christmas food " ribbe".

(at Texture - London) Wow - this is the real deal. Starting to show secondary petrol notes with pure honeyed, Riesling fruit. Dry with supporting richness, the presence goes on forever without feeling the slightest bit heavy. A food wine of top order that might develop more complexity with further aging. (93)

La robe or soutenue étonne. Le nez est exubérant, fruits jaunes, mirabelle, puis fruits exotiques. Note terpénique discrète qui signe néanmoins le cépage. Le nez annonce une aromatique de vin moelleux et on n’est pas surpris de trouver du résiduel. En fait si, je ne m’attenfais pas à avoir du résiduel ! La bouche est large, opulente mais nette avec une acidité qui donne de la tenue. En bouche on trouve en plus du panier de fruits exotiques (mangue, ananas), de la verveine et des épices. Une belle bouteille quoique pas tout à fait le style que j’affectionne d’habitude. Vin de repas qui s’accorde bien avec la cuisine asiatique.

PHMG WAG: Alsace (Chateau Lyon): An amazing wine and the second bottle emptied in this tasting. Modest petrol on the nose followed immediately by layers of white citrus, white stone fruit, and white apples...wait, do they...? Great with spicy foods, this just goes on and on. Could go another decade or two!

Excellent wine, very young at the moment. The most impressive thing is its many layers. I would wait a few years to try the other bottles.
