i would agree with Simon G on this one. A fantastic nose, a great entry that drops off a touch on the mid-palate, but which bounces back strongly on the finish. I thought that the finish would fade, but it kept on going for a long, long time. I would like a tiny bit more more mid-palate weight, but the finish really does make up for it IMHO. This really is a splendid example of an aged Austrian Riesling from a stellar producer that is well-worth seeking out.

Some fruit and smoky notes are evident, but there's noticeable TCA on the nose and palate that ruins this. (Score another one for 'romantic closures'.)

Too advanced. Potable, but there were more attractive alternatives.

PF in context of a lot of natural wines from the Jura, and this was not at all out of place.

Some felt it corked. I'm not so TCA-sensitive, but it was ungiving for sure.
