Chalky marl, calcareous notes, caramel, mint, flint, yet dominated by heavy iron, indeed expressing the Brunnenhauschen ferrous soil; later becomes more accommodative, peach and apricot;
Body characteristic of that Westhofen apple crumble, here very extracted and more like a scrumpy cider; palette is very central and focused with a stainless steel rod core; high electric acidity, perhaps feeling a bit malic, tart given how singular the palette is; reductive burnt quality; quite a short finish but the key feature here is the power.
