This is an intense, "big" wine - but in the precise, acid and mineral slathered way only Austria can do. Slate, peach, honeysuckle on the nose gives the impression it will be sweet. But the palate is so acid driven with a major mineral backbone supporting all that fruit. Rounded mouthfeel - seems to be some mix of neutral oak or lees. Has the fruit and structure to benefit from this treatment. Probably some RS here - but it wears it veyr, very well. It just keeps me coming back for more and finding more going on.

Riper and a little more flabby than expected (and hoped). While there is some nice minerality and ripe apple and pear fruit, this was not as zingy as I like.

This was nice right out of the gate, but it lost steam early on and within a few hours the bouquet begins to disappear. It had nice energy and acidity, good mineral and earth elements, but the fruit faded to grey before I was ready to see it go. 4+10+14+7= 85

Nez profond d'impression racé, c'est bien ouvert, invitant et sans réelle note de vinyle. Bouche qui ne manque pas de matière et d'intensité, mais plus tendre qu'anticipé. Finale persistante. Une très belle offrande.

Really nice rich Riesling, good acidity, holding up well. Has much life ahead.
