  My very good wine friend (and superb writer) cct wrote as follows in 2011: "A riper profile than the schonfels, with some salty mineral driven depth. Richer citrus-orange like almost. Still beautifully fresh, truly stony and just flat out pure. Just enought RS to add some complexity but not really be noticed. Beautiful again. 94 pts" These description remain accurate a decade later; the wine is rich yet fresh
  The room was dark, so hard to detect the color of the wine, but seemed a bit golden. The fruit profile, to me is more white peach/peach pit with the citrus inflection more in the background, but the wine drinks beautifully and seems to have a great long road ahead of it. I too wish I hadn't been so confused by this master's labelling and do not have nearly enough of these wines.

  This is every bit as good as the first bottle. A beautiful balance between dry and sweet. Sharp in a Saar way. I think I described it well enough in my first note. The bottle has lost nothing in the four years and I think it will improve just fine. I did not detect heat/alcohol that Fisch and Rayer reported either time I drank the wine.

  This is gorgeous. The nose starts off with sand and rock dust seasoned with citrus peel, hay, and dried fennel bulb. In the mouth there is a wonderful battle between taught and dry verses sweet and fruit. This PURE wine has a dry entry that is followed by a sweet and pithy citrus perception. Again, orange peel and pithy sweet grapefruit, mineral perceptions that remind me of dried sand, gneiss and slate, something black (fennel or licorice) and a long and pleasing swallow. These young vines are kickin' it.

  I thought this was lovely, but it is pretty big. Not sure how much it will improve beyond the flush of youth, but I love the amount of RS they've left, just enough to round it out.
