Ageing fast but drinking nicely now. RS closer to a spätlese than a Kabinett. Slate mineral and, ripe citrus, and pome fruit on the nose. Similar notes on the palate balance leaning a bit too heavily on the sweet side. Short finish with mineral and lime. Drink now.

Seemed different than the previous bottle, and I enjoyed it more. Friendly both on opening and next two days. Off dry. Lemon/lime, apricot, mineral, more that I can't recall.

Floral, mineral, apple, pear, touch of grapefruit. Tight, strong minerality and acidity, a bit stern. Moderate finish. Will save the second bottle to see how this ages.

A little oil/gas, rubber band, anise on nose. Strong initial acid and pear, followed by peach and melon flavors. There's a slightly awkward bitterness on the finish, which is a little flabby and short.
