11/10/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 points

10% abv. AP 9. This last bottle of the series is really good. It happens to be on the same table with other 2017s—JJ Prüm Auslese, elect Brunello—and dare I say it competes well. Red roses, red delicious apple peel, breezed red slope—tangled, wilted tendrils, of clover and yellow tobacco. Acidity is locked into paving stones. It's fresh and hyper drinkable. I take this as proof of 2017 merit as a vintage, and a sly indication of the inexhaustible reservoir of under-hyped German wine

24 hours later, still drinking really good
________
4 days later (96 hours) is it really drinking as well as I think it is? Or is this deliciousness due to the pairing, with chargrilled cheeseburger on rocket? Serving cold out of the fridge—it's gorgeous, perfectly balanced and fresh; it resonates with bedrock. If I didn't feel so alone in my fascination with this wine I might worry these words amounted to bragging.
