  Consistent with my July note. Maybe a bit more round weight, without losing acidity or deliniation. Held up perfectly to a spicy green curry, shrimp and chicken.

  I noted this on CT in 2019, and was surprised I scored it just as high. . I think I was very impressed by the piercing acidity of its youth, even though the fruit leaned more toward tart citrus. This has evolved nicely, and is more rounded, and richer than it seemed 4 years ago. Matchstick, flint, orange blossom honey, and persimmon on the nose. In the mouth: Mandarin orange, ruby red grapefruit, and gooseberry cloaked in white schist dust. perfect with a fluke aguachile, dotted with kumquat skin. In it’s prime now, drink before 2026.

  Real refreshing wine, very aromatic nose, palate with a bit of residual sugar. Lemon, chalk, various citrus, petroleum. Zippy acidity. Good right now but definitely could age.

  Initially, way too tart and angular for me. But.
  After a day one so on Coravin, plus 45+ minutes airtime in the glass and whoa. Perfumed, off-dry tart apple, tropical notes, almost bitter somehow. The tartness is initially off-putting for me, but that tropical slight sweetness is compelling and keeps me coming back for more. Try again in 3-5 years. Very good with Szechuan food or salty popcorn. Built for a long haul I think. Eminently food friendly..

  Nice aromatic riesling, quite a bit of residual sweetness but also quite good acidity. Ripe fruit, pear, apples but also some mango and pineapple. Good stuff (although I actually liked the cheaper Faß 12 better; with more balance between sweet fruit and acidity) ! drink or hold.
