Light yellow. Some petrol. Just off dry. Powerful, glycerine stone fruit, very good acidity for the year. Excellent at this level but it is quite ripe.
Bright yellow. High toned floral aromatics. Medium to lighter weight. Herbal rather than fruit forward. Dry, excellent acidity, long stony finish. This is outstanding, very elegant, etched, and fine. Should have a long life. My favorite wine of the tasting.
First bottle of this had off, musty aromas, low grade TCA I think. The second was much better. Low toned stone fruit and citrus, glycerine feel, dry soil finish. Clearly bigger and broader than the Grossi Laue, but I didn't find it as focused and dynamic as the bottle I tasted at the domain last year.
