  Not much to add to my previous note. Generous, rich with lots of depth and complexity. Herbal notes, ripe stone fruit, crushed stones, hints of petrol on the nose. On the palate slightly oily, generous, powerful. Just enough acidity, but not the most vibrant or lively. Astonishingly persistent. Drink or keep. 93-95

  An absolutely fantastic wine. I did not have too high expectations; i expected a great but - for my taste - too heavy wine. I was wrong: this is very elegant, perfectly clean and clear and I feel I drink it at a perfect moment, even it no doubt has a long life ahead of it. Yes, it may lack a bit of acidity, but with the right food to accompany it, one does not find any reason to complain. Chapeau

  Wow. What a wine. Golden yellow, tons of fruit, apricot, herb, spicy, with a sweet touch. Round and full. Enormous length. The only criticism can be: A little lack of acids.

  “Ten Years After” 2009 Dry Riesling Tasting (Private Location): For a lot of people on the table the wine of the night. I couldn’t say a word about the quality but it’s simply not my style. Nevertheless the nose is very intense with flavors of spices, apricot, honey but also a nice herbal note. On the palate intense, for me a bit to heavy. But the pressure on the mid palate is definitely impressive although you have to know where this power is coming from. Very long. Still a long life ahead.
