  From 2 bottles at TdA, this wine had a light gold color and clear rims. The high intensity nose generated fresh apricot, citrus, petroleum jelly, and mineral notes.
  
  In the mouth, this wine developed extremely well and was rich and ripe with huge length. It seemed to be bigger and richer than all the other high-power whites on the table!
  
  When this wine has been stored well it is a great white that can power to awesome heights with air.

  Nose of diesel, flowers, rich citrus peel. What a thing this wine was on the palate. So beautifully textured from midpalate. A savory and rich fruited profile that came in lifted and just went higher until it slowly dropped of with a really interesting herbal and savory finish. The acidity was bright, precise and so well balanced with the richness of the fruit. Simply gorgeous!

  When I opened it at home I was confident this was a sterling example of this great vintage of Hune due to its expressive bouquet of waxy stone fruit and potent concentration of old Riesling fruit. Somehow though a couple hours later it seemed more diffuse and less distinctive. I am wondering if the rather humid and stuffy air suffocated it although two more potent red wines later on were fine. Judgment reserved.

  Tasted blind, this wine had. medium deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose generated petroleum jelly, white stone, apples, dried apricots, minerals, and honey notes.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe with incredible balance and integration. It also had firm acidity and great length.
  
  This bottle must have been in perfect condition as the wine was spectacular. While this was in the zone after a few hours in a decanter, it should last for at least a decade. That said, please note that I find some bottle variation with this wine.
