A stunning wine. Floral, juicy, fresh berries (without sweetness). Wild and complex, still stunningly elegant.

Aroma with flowers, red berries and sous bois. Palate with mature notes, earthy, sweet spices, leather and dried red fruits.

Intense stuff. Dried herbs, nuts, oxidative. Palate with lots of bitter fruits, saltiness and nutty sherry flavors.

Flint, popcorn, candied nuts. Wild on the palate, herbs, saltiness, touch of honey. Similar to Grüne Libelle.

Oxidative, sherry notes, nutty, raisins. Okay but nothing special.

Lemon, honey, herbs, saltiness - lean but energetic.

Walnuts, dried herbs, candied yellow fruits. Complex palate, saltiness, well-integrated acidity, bitter fruits. Fascinating wine.

Chalky, peach, herbs. Round and full on the palate, great structure, beautiful balance of acidity and minerality.

Green apple and honey on the nose. Surprisingly reticent, right now nothing much seems to be happening. Hold.

Nuts, lemon and herbs on the nose. Creamy, smooth yet great acidity. Really wonderful.

Red berries, spices, vanilla, wood.

Chalk, citrus, green apple. Palate with a hint of bitterness and ripe fruits. Good but far from great.

Brioche, peaches on the nose. Soft mousseux, smooth and elegant. Acidity and minerality in great balance.

Honey, yellow apple, chalk on the nose. Very smooth on the palate, vibrant, only at the beginning of its development.

Wet stones, apple, petrol, herbs. Palate with great minerality, still very fresh. Honey, pear, petrol.

Cherry candy and licorice aroma. Palate with surprisingly dense tannic structure, red berries, leather.

Apricot, butter. Nice and lively acidity. Great value.

Vibrant nose of red berries and freshly cut grass. Palate with a almost airy structure, playful acidity, raspberry, mint and cloves. Beautiful!

Fragrant red berries, leather. Violet, coffee on the palate, not as fresh and energetic as I'd hoped.

Honey, herbs, beeswax on the nose. Full palate with a certain creaminess, yet bracing acidity. Really good.

Petrol, peaches and crushed stone on the note. Approaching its peak with nicely integrated notes of early maturity. Creamy, mineral GG.

Fragrant flowers, red fruit and forest floor on the nose. Palate a lot of depth, earthiness, spice and wonderfully integrated fruit.

Flint, crushed stone, herbs on the nose. Palate with lots of different flavors, lemon zest, smoke, popcorn, verbena. Already wonderfully complex, might improve even more.

Creamy, nice acidity, a bit of saltiness.

3/13/2022 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Nose is very lean, chalk, stones, lemon. Palate in the beginning a bit austere, but in an interesting way. Bracing acidity is balanced by an equally intense mineral structure. Only the slightest hints of butter, lemon zest and sweet herbs.

More of a classic character than other Labet whites. Hints of toffee, lemon and stones on the nose. Very balanced palate, no edges, like a good BB.

12/22/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Bright red berries on the nose, aroma leaping out of the glas. Really lively, good acidity, still a bit carbonic. Juicy, yet surprisingly elegant.

Lemon peel, crushed stone, sweet herbs on the nose. Showing little signs of aging, this wine is still wonderfully fresh. Peaches and roasted nuts on the palate.

Brioche, green apple, meyer lemon, toasted sesame on the nose. Voluptuous structure, acidity quite present, but nicely integrated into a full-bodied, creamy palate.

Flint, lemon, butter on the nose. Palate with wonderful minerality-acidity balance, complex and elegant.

Flint, lemons, nail polish on the nose. Palate with bitterness and minerality, fruit quite reticent. Austere Jura white.

Lots of fresh red berries on the nose, a hint of forest. Easygoing and smooth in the mouth, yet complex. Great QPR!

Funky and intense nose of red berries and bubblegum. Medium structure with surprisingly present tannins.

8/11/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Concentrated red fruits, fragrant flowers, spices like cinnamon. Intense, vibrant red.

Wet earth, forest berries on the nose. Dense tannins, dense; need time.

Honeyed apple, hints of petrol. Much too young, more like lemonade at the moment.

7/23/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

A contemplative wine. Herbal, resin on the nose, just a hint of yellow fruits. Palate again with herbs, heavy, somewhat viscous, bitter and quite long.

7/25/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Lemon and candied nuts on the nose. Lively palate, dominated by a nice acidity. Really reminiscent of a Chardonnay, yet its own thing. Nice!

7/20/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Very reticent. Bitter, with a robust acidity. Very uncommon for a Riesling. May just need time.

8/6/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Passion fruit, sweet herbs (like verbena), green tea on the nose. A whirlwind on the palate. Lots of energetic acidity, a beautiful melange of tropical flavors and mineral texture. Very beautiful.

Somewhat over the hill. Oxidized notes, firn, old apples.

Tart and reductive. Lots of acidity, a touch of green fruit and little else at the moment. Maybe in 3-5 years.

8/28/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Probably not a perfect bottle. Seemed slightly over the hill, still, you could sense the greatness lingering. Round, balanced flavors, honey, ripe apples, green tea, all in impressive balance.

5/21/2021 - PatrickO33 wrote:

Freshly cut apples, stones, grass on the nose. Palate already wonderfully balanced, yellow stone fruits, herbs, still fruit-forward. Will be even more complex in a couple of years.

Cedar, redcurrant, smoke on the nose. Elegant yet robust, lots of dark berries on the palate.
