  Powerful aromas of tropical fruit, flowers and (I swear) a hint of petrol. Fruity, almost exotic -- think guava and cooked quince --, along with pears, apricot and an herbal quality. Concentrated, oily, but with firm acidity. For all that is going on, it was easy to drink. Quite a remarkable riesling.

  Superb. Perfect balance. Great energy and fruit. This will go the distance but just starting to drink really well.

  A bottle three years ago was all about structure. This bottle has reclaimed its fruit, opening up after several years of slumber, emerging from a cocoon to be more beautiful than it was before it shut down. It was clear immediately after the bottle was opened, as the first sip was brilliant: peach, stone, lemon cream and tarragon, all served up on a platter of Himalayan rock salt. Rich on the palate, but completely dry, the depth of flavor was a weighted blanket, comforting and serene.

  Un peu moins éclatant que la dernière bue en 2916, le style est maintenant plus subtil et contenu. Assez peu variétal, sur le fruit exotique et encore à l’acidité assez tranchante même si le tout apparaît plus fondu et mature. Il a atteint son plateau, la prochaine dans 5 ans. 93
