  January 30, 2017 - VDP- Tour Grosse Lage 2017 (Hotel Atlantic, Hamburg): Tangy smell of stonefruit, creamy, concentrated, a little unevolved still, a long mineralic finish, needs 3-5+ years from now, **(**), 89-92+

  January 28, 2017 - German wine tasting followed by a Lunch (@ de Nederlanden): In the bouquet citrus, flowers, minerals and tropical impressions. On the palate white fruits like apples, honey and licorice. Good acidity and in fact a nice balance between acidity and sweetness. Not an extremely long finish.

  January 28, 2017 - A German Wine Tasting-cum-Lunch (Restaurant De Nederlanden *, Vreeland, NL): Fuller style than both the 2014 and the 2013, broader shoulders and more weight, well-balanced, but not very expressive and there is a bitter vegetal note. Not sure about this one.

  September 30, 2015 - Half bottle, recently purchased at the estate. Not showing much of itself. Very closed on the nose, vinous and slightly honeyed; similar palate, quite monolithic and unyielding but the balance ("only" 12.5% ABV) and structure seem to be allright, even if there is just a smidgen of greenness in the bitters; good length. This really needs a few years to find its bearings. I would suggest a potential score of 91-93.

  March 29, 2015 - Yet another gem from Banu, Emre Smekal.
  Pale gold. Distinct petrol nose, Would expect this a few years later though. Ripe citrus aromas follow along with floral accents. Features a mineral palate with vibrant acidity and a rich, powerful finish.
