The cork completely disintegrated and not surprisingly this was totally oxidized and dead. Three wildly flawed bottles in a row and all I wanted was something with a little sweetness. I fear that I might get struck by lightning tonight.

Stupid stupid me. I ran and grabbed this after reading Payne's take on the 05 vintage, all enthused to see if I'd finally understand VV's halbtrocken style. Pure leesiness evolves into lanolin. The wine is downright tannic at this point. I'll save a bit to check out over the coming days but I can't imagine that this wine will come out of its funk in the next five to seven. Be patient! Because it blows chunks today...

This is packed, not your typical qba. Liquid minerals, earth, great high notes of citrus and superripe pears. Lots of body, not a lot of finesse, but delicious. Great intensity, and a long clean finish.

Although a bit more mature than I would've like to see.
