While this wine has continued to improve with age, it still feels slightly unripe and lacking in depth on the palate. The nose is really beautiful, though, with a zesty hit of mint, quinine, and chamomile.

This bottle is showing a little more body than others I’ve tried in the last year although it is still a bit hollow in the middle. I can finally see some reason to hope that this can become good and that the recent disappointing showings were simply indicative of a shut-down wine. Although the color is still quite light there are glimmers of age and some lightly caramelized flavors which may balance the slim and acidic frame with time.

Another very flat bottle of this wine...not suffering from oxidation at all but just lifeless. No body, depth of flavor, or even acidity to speak of...it's almost like barely carbonated soda water. Also opened a bottle of the 2011 Zeppwingert from the same producer...this was a different story and very much drinkable if falling short of its reputation.
