  Pear, melon and lots of mineral notes. Very clean and precise structure and acidity. Great now but it will improve with age. Drink now until 2034. (IG)

  Absolutely fantastic nose. Deep, spicy, clean, bright. Palate is just as impressive. Creamy and very long. Ending up with this beautiful acidity adding tension and presence.

  Fantastic Riesling. Captivating nose of finest slate terroir, deep, elegant and still a bit restrained. It's very obvious that this wine comes from the Moselle (Saar). The mouthfeel is as clear as a bell, it flows seamlessly and smooth through your mouth. The wine then has a lot of great tension and grip, very fine but present tannins. The aftertaste is incredible long, it kind of never leaves your palate. Very fine lemon and yellow fruit aromas stay on and on and on.
  
  Can be drunk now but will certainly improve over the next 10+ years. Great structure built for aging. One of the finest 2016 Rieslings I had so far! This can score even higher in a couple of years.

  Tour VDP Große Lage -Start Berlin- Alternative: an Afternoon in Riesling-Heaven (Capital representative office of german telecom, Berlin): This one is top of the heap from Va Vo, very impressing, energetic stonefruit, elegant precision, lightbodied dancing on the palate, very long aftertaste, about 2 minutes+, a stunner, **(***) 95+ potential
