Gorgeous. So rich and unctuous while being precise and bright. Nose of florals as enchanted by Byredo. Then Silvaner minerality and attention-grabbing structure on the palate. Key lime, bay leaf and slight dry Curaçao. Long finish with a recapitulation and a little white strawberry as well as that incredible texture. Beautiful stuff.

Very Riesling-like nose, dominated by stone fruit and minerals. It's light and subtle, yet very interesting and really expressed itself more at room temperature. Great acidity with crushed rocks and lemon on the palate. Nice finish. This is a very serious wine with a lot more depth coming through with air. Really lovely and delicious!

Glass: Riedel Vinum Syrah Drunk over three days. Clear, pale lemon golden color. Clean, medium- intense and youthful nose with some spices, white pepper, herbs and some ripe pear. On the palate dry, medium+ acidity, 12,5% abv. Quite closed and locked down. Some vegetables, pear, pepper. Good balance. Hard to rate at this stage. Wait at least 2+ years (currently around 88-89)

From 70 year old vines. Step up from the regular Silvaner. Nose as the regular Silvaner, but deeper, sweet, bloodorange, grapefruit. Taste precise, fresh, complex, mineral, very long finish. There is some grassy Sauvignon tone in the mid-palate. Elegant wine.
