  Poured into a Zalto Universal glass.
  
  More coiled up than my last bottle at first, but with some air I'm able to coax grapefruit, tangerine, lemon peel, wild yeasts, and a hint of lychee. Wet slate minerality provides a great balance to the fruit, eventually dominating the palate on the finish. The structure is juicy and bright, with vibrant acidity that is better incorporated since my last bottle. Will give another it another 5 years before opening my next bottle (I mean it this time), but this provides ample pleasure now. GG quality wine from an underrated Mosel vineyard.

  Lovely wine, but young. Fine-boned and very elegant with notes of elderflower, tangerine and honeysuckle. Needs to put on a little weight and will doubtless gain complexity in the cellar; in 5+ years this should be a stunner. Glad I tried it now as it shined with my scallop crudo but I won't be touching another bottle for 5 years.

  Tangerine, lychee, lemon and grapefruit pithe. Hints of elderflower. Bracing acidity, on the palate there is a great wet slate minerality that lingers on the finish. Elegant and light on the palate, still so young. Keeping my other bottles cellared for another 5 years minimum.

  Dette er en vin som har fått høy-score i internasjonal vinpresse i de siste årene. Druene er hentet, som navnet sier, fra den tredje terrassen av fire mulige i vinmarken. Det nevnes at det trolig er munker som terrasserte skråningene i sin tid, som ligger 1100 meter innover fjellet. Ikke akkurat kostnadseffektivt dette.
  
  Vinen er rik og leken på nesen med noe yngre lett umodne sitrusfrukter som avgir en kjøligere nese.
  
  På paletten har vinen en ekspressiv konsentrasjon og reagerer lynkjapt i anslaget. Syren reagerer like raskt med en sylskarp syre som du nesten stikker deg på. Her er det en ren og presis frukt som bare varer. Tyngre, både gule og grønne frukter, skarp fjærestein, og et hint av en oljete følelse. Syren er som sagt skarp og nydelig.
  
  Idag blir vinen nesten litt for interessant med mye av alt og vil trenge 10 år for å finne den optimale balansen. Uansett, verdt å putte ned i kjelleren dette. 92 poeng. For nå.
