  In der Nase viele Kräuter wie Melisse, Waldmeister, Wiesenkräuter, Heu. Dazu deutlich rauchig, etwas reduktiv, angedeutetes helles reifes Steinobst (mit Luft eher Williams-Birne), deutlich steinig. Dazu etwas grüner Speck.
  
  Am Gaumen mit viel Power, die fast 14% sind schon spürbar. Darunter ein mächtiges, dunkles mineralisches Gerüst. Deutlich pikant, spürbares, sehr feines Tannin und ein guter Säurezug. Das ist wirklich tief und komplex.
  
  Sehr, sehr lang und wirklich zum Draufherumkauen.
  
  Beeindruckend, und die zweite Flasche kann gern nochmal 2-3 Jahre liegen.

  From 75cl screwcap, opened but not decanted 2 hours. Classy struck match and citrus scent; bright, bone dry entry; mid-palate more fruity and—sigh—typically Silvaner-like than I'd hoped. I liked this more 2 years ago when it was just bursting with energy, but it is still very good now. 90P

  Hervorragend, strukturiert, die 3 Jahre Reife haben nicht geschadet

  From 75cl screwcap, opened but not decanted 1 hour, continued to improve until final drop. We disagreed about the nose: I thought it was closed, but my husband found it expressive. Anyway, there's melon, apple and smoke in there. Initially seemed a touch sweet, even grape-juice-like on the entry, and a tad spritzy on the mid-palate. But it opened up in the glass to show immense minerality, and in every sense lost its puppy fat. A weighty, bone–dry wine in perfect, knife-edge balance between succulence, acidic levity and (especially on the long finish) shimmering, resonant crushed stones. Wonderful now with enough air, no hurry. Perfect match with rich white asparagus risotto. 91-92P
