  • Drank over 3 hours. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
    Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
    Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of honeyed white flowers, citrus lime, clean slate, limestone minerality, almond nut oil, herbs, hint of smoke. Apple fruits with more air. Developing.
    On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of rounded almond nut oil, cream peach, lemon custard, citrus green lime, herb, abundant limestone minerality, smoky flint. Lovely creamy smooth mouth-feel going into the long finish.
    Very good quality. Complex and possibly one of the best examples of a dry & still Pinot Blanc. Could still age more over the next ~3 years I feel.
    From the Mandelberg Grosse Lage site in the village of Birkweiler in Pfalz.
