Bigger than the previous wines, excellent intensity and length, a certain voluptuousness, velvety tannins, volcanic soils, masculine, oak perfectly integrated.

Nice sweet fruit, a bit lactic, hint of vanilla from the oak, good freshness, needs a bit more time to integrate the oak, charming but lacks some structure and length.

A good, competent Spätburgunder, nice fruit, weight and balance but no great length or definition.

The essence of the Ahr, fragrant, sweet fruit, magnificent minerality, takes the theme of charm-and-intensity-without-weight to the next level, perfectly judged and barely noticeable oak, very expressive, so beautiful.

Very specific character, hard to pin down, hint of cocoa, high toned, good length but not much finesse.

Light, somewhat vegetal, neither to dry nor too weak but nothing special either, lacks a bit of length.
