  This had an uber concentrated palate of Granny Smith apple, pineapple, tangerine oil, lemon confit, and a loooong finish of liquid rocks kind of like sucking on some minerals. To me, a hypothetical cross between a Batard Montrachet with all the richness and your classic riesling which at 12+ years is developing secondary oiliness. Next stop G Max!!! 94/100

  瓶醒1小时左右始饮，层次有序，外层一圈石灰粉尘的晕圈，向内过渡为复杂和细致的花草香气，薄荷、鼠尾草、干罗勒和百里香之类的草本带着些许橙花、茉莉以及干薰衣草味，慢慢融在奶油泡沫里，内里则多黄桃、菠萝、橘子、柠檬硬糖和苹果等果味，随着醒酒会显得更加成熟，依然年轻，保持透亮，收尾有些野蜂蜜。
  
  口感紧致有力，集中度高，酸度高锐而长，可贯穿整体，线条直而将结构组织其周，有序但稍显硬直。果味成熟新鲜，乃至有一丝冰糖同蜂蜜味，成熟的橘子、黄桃和苹果等占据主导，被一层均匀且向心的干浸出物触感同矿物感收拢归内，各种香草带来的辛辣感加强了这种紧致，后段和收尾有轻微木质和太妃糖味。93+/100

  Best bottle (Belsers Restaurant, Nürtingen): Glass: Sophienwald Bordeaux
  Double decanted approx. 4h before tasting. Clear, pale golden color. Very deep, salty, zesty, fruity nose with some hints of smoke.
  This bottle was interestingly all about structure and minerality. Fruit was in the back. It was very salty, very deep and dense, very phenolic and with an almost oily, mouthcoating intensity. Long and lingering finish. With a bit more fruit, this would have been perfect, but that is a first world problem. Drink now or over the next 10 years. 94

  Glass: Zalto Burgundy
  Popped and poured, drunk over two days. Clear, medium golden color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose. Very mineral, lots of crushed stones, yellow stone fruit, some fresh pineapple. Deep and dense.
  Dry, medium+ acidity, 13% abv. Needs time and air, developed great depth and tension and a lovely mineral touch on day two. Lots of extract, some zesty bitter notes. Great energy. Long, mineral and fruity finish. Slowly approaching its peak, but will stay on this level for years and has still potential. 94+
