  Very interesting wine to taste.
  Not sure that I have ever tasted a wine with more "Pilsner" like aromas...
  Nice everyday wine with good texture but fairly short finish.

  12.5% abv. AP 7. A tall drizzling pour produced a milky haze of gas that vacated slowly for most of 30 seconds. NOSE: cracked peach pit, lemon curd, broken chalk. MOUTH: ample body; sweetness balanced by stone bitterness; fine, fronded herbs launch from stems of calcium and acid. Sugar from lemon bruises. It's a dry drink. Leaning in the direction of coarseness rather than finesse. There seems to be enough power and freshness here to let it do its thing for at least another year or so in the cellar.
  ________
  After 24 hours resealed in the fridge: no better, no worse. Is there a slight taste of bitter green seed here? That sort of thing can, in principle, work well with flamboyant thick juices. Could ingrained modulation mix with ideological rawness in a way that produces a split identity?

  With some time in the cellar, additional creaminess and green fruit in the palate. I'm tasting right on the heels of the '18 vintage Kalk. This '21 has more acid, grapefruit, and pith. Well made, and a good food wine, but comparatively disappointing vs. the '18, especially given the price point. No reason to hold this vintage long term.

  mild rs. greenish-grey in expression with full-on pithy citrus.
  
  first bottle was spritzy and didn't open up until the bubbles blew off.
  
  as mentioned below, this really morphs with air and as it warms. it's well worth observing over the evening.
  
  i know it's mostly pinot blanc and pinot gris, but still... shy nose and low+ acid.
