May 2, 2024 - Dark amber, perhaps ageing prematurely. Such a surprise for the blend - it doesn't taste like Sauvignon Blanc or Sémillon - it's its own thing. Smells like a sweet/dessert wine. Nutty, oily. Supremely luscious. I love the bitter nuttiness and the oiliness. But also a racy acidity. Really distinctive and exciting.

October 16, 2022 - Bordeaux 2012 (By SS in the Ertepeller.): Beautiful and impressive bouquet with beautiful vanilla and oak. Same on the palate. Tasty and expressive with beautiful acidity, minerals and a good length. Great white!

March 26, 2022 - Optik: mittleres goldgelb
Nase: Mittlere Aromen von Ananas, Pfirsich, Quitte, reife Birne, Toast, nusszig. Voll gereift.
Gaumen: trocken, hohe Säure, mittlerer Alkohol, mittlerer (+) Körper mit mittleren (+) Aromen wie in der Nase. Langer Abgang
Entwicklungsstadium: Jetzt trinken, nicht für weitere Lagerung geeignet
Qualität: sehr gut
Gesamturteil: Toller Wein in optimaler Trinkreife. Mineralisch Noten toll kombiniert mit reifen Früchten, alles super gestützt mit knackiger Säure. Jetzt trinken, der Wein wird nicht mehr besser. -

October 3, 2021 - Very much alive but time to drink up. Delightful custard and ripe lemon/pineapple notes with a good degree of minerality- perhaps a trace of struck match? Acidity still carries it but seems a little blunted as the wine has ‘fattened out’ so I’ll look to drink my remaining bottles over the next year.

April 30, 2020 - Just superb. So many honeyed fruit flavours in play, but with the acidity keeping everything in check. And long! Great value, and looking out for some 2017.
