  This is one spicy-ass Pinot Blanc. Tasted blind over a four day period (vv'd and chilled in between) I was thinking a Gewurtztraminer-ish Riesling, certainly German: I was off by a least a varietal. Nice stuff; would love to find more. A little tart for my wife, but then she's a Muscatel fan, and a fussy one at that.

  From magnum
  
  Pale yellow, very healthy appearance
  
  Nose is complex - some «pfalz grapefruit», and (white) peach. No hints of petroleum which one might expect on a 12 year old riesling?
  
  Very good concentration, length and exceptional balance. Less oppulence/ ripeness than most 2009-sesongen tasted recently
  
  Overtall a very fine sample of a dry pfalz riesling - probably close to peak now!

  Online Blind Tasting: 2009 from all over the world: Wine was filled into ~ 125 ml bottle in the morning and tasted in the evening and the evening the day after.
  Glass: Zalto Universal
  Clear, medium golden color. Clean, medium+ intense developing nose. Some delicate petrol, lots of herbs (herb-rich meadow), fine rock flour. Dense and beautiful.
  Dry with some residual sugar. High acidity that structures the wine beautifully. On the palate very mineral, lots of rock flour, fresh herbs, yellow stone fruit and delicated petrol. Very dense and tight, very good pressure and tension. Very good balance. Juicy. Long finish with lots of fine yellow fruit and crushed stones. Needed time and air. 91 on day 1, 93+ for sure on day 2. Potential of at least 3+ years.

  These were overrated from the get go, and this my last bottle didn’t age well to boot. Meh.

  A joy to drink. One of the highlights of the first month of COVID-19 confinement (of which there have been quite a few).
  
  This wine is in a terrific place. Citrusy, grapefruity notes on the palate, great density without being at all heavy. Not quite the palate feel of a comparable Wachau Riesling, but nearly so. Great acidic mineral structure makes this wine a joy to drink. Extremely complex. If only I had made some contemporaneous notes.
