April 8, 2024 - From memory: The first surprise came when pouring the first glass, the colour was that of a young wine, at max a pale straw yellow. The nose intense, dominated by citrus, some petrol, but not dominant. I remember this as precise, quite mineral, fresh, with lots of intensity and energy; silky texture. Very long.
Impressive in its chiseled style. I think this wine has still quite a journey ahead.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 19, 2024 - Complex and mature notes of marzipan, nougat and sherry with a touch of petroleum. High end Riesling with adequate age. Didn’t need any decanting but don’t drink too cold. I’m not so experienced in aged Riesling but I would say it’s in a fairly good drinking window.

March 9, 2024 - Magnifiques arômes floraux et minéraux...pétrole, cire d'abeille, fruits à chair blanche, biscuit sablé...et soupçon de pelure de citron. Acidité bien présente. Gras et soyeux, complexe et sapide. Notes végétales et fruits surettes. Longue finale...surette / mordante. 90-

February 22, 2024 - Decided to open one based on blanquito's recent note. Good on day one, near explosive on day two. I'll drink my remaining bottle in the coming 2-4 years even if it will age longer. Based on day two, it's highly recommended
