  Last nights 2017 made me wonder if the 2017’s Riesling GG are awaking?!?
  
  YES they START to do so 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
  
  Don’t get me wrong, no rush here, but if you have a big stock, pop one!
  
  👁️ light straw yellow
  
  👃 most restrained still, when it gets warmer it shows beautiful finesse of white flowers, mandarine, slate, all subtle &fine!
  
  👄 again like I said last night, electric ⚡️, great 🍋 & 🍋‍🟩 but also 🍊. Super light but very long finish.
  
  Only at the start, might get close to perfect!
  
  Now - 2040

  Großartig! Das hat Zug, viel Grip, eine karge/steinige Anmutung. Fordernd, aber brilliant.
  Hervorragend zu trinken mit weiterem Potenzial. Aber kein Grund zu warten.

  Tasting note from day 2: What a beauty. Nose is delicate with grapefruit, cotton candy, lime and citrus zest with some spices and smoke. Palate is extraordinary, elegant but with power and tension. I find this wine perfectly balanced between Riesling typical acidity, slightly almost unnoticeable bitter notes and salinity.
  
  I must admit on day 1 I would have rated significantly lower. This wine needs a lot of air or at least 3 more years cellaring. But once its open, it‘s stunning.

  Light yellow. Higher toned, more green citrus and florality than the older Austrian wine. Lighter as well. Herbs and lime, a great rush of acidity, and powerful, long, smoky granite/limestone finish. Energetic and extremely young but brisk and exhilarating without being too severe.
