  Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
  Popped and poured, drunk over three days from perfect bottle.
  Clear lemon golden color. Clean nose, that got deeper and more complex every day! Lime, yellow stone fruit, smoke, green tobacco. Complex and very deep.
  On the palate dry, high, ripe acidity, only 12,5% abv. Fine, sweet yellow and white stone fruit, floral notes, blossoms, deep mineral core. Wonderful tension and energy, also very elegant and balanced. Juicy and joyful to drink. Very long, fruity-mineral finish. At least 5+ years ahead. 94-95

  Pretty nose with a bit of petrol, honey, lemon, floral notes, lime, and minerals. High acidity on the palate with notes of grapefruit, lemon, apricot, peach, and minerals, with a bit more honey. Long finish. This is a lovely wine. Next to the 2016 Kellers, I felt it didn't quite have the complexity, but it felt more harmonious overall.

  Impressive wine, deep lemon scented, fruit, flowers and lemon oil. Dense wine, essence of ripe lemons. Classic power and finesse combined. Archetypal dry Riesling. Classy.
