July 7, 2023 - Opened last night. Golden-yellow. Nose is fine: mostly apple fruit, just beginning to show secondary notes of lambswool. Pretty in spades. Very crisp, lots of acid, but it can't hide the obvious fruit. I thought I had more than a single bottle, but I didn't, so I wish I would have waited on this, as it should be glorious in another 5-7 years. Even now, it is showing nicely, if quite young. 5-12-17-9: 93/100. May turn out even better down the road.

April 2, 2023 - This stunner is drinking really nice right now. Fine reduction with nice citrus notes at first. Later on more tertiary flavors while always having a very strong but pleasant minerality and acidity

September 2, 2022 - DAY 1
Served with the Vinloq System
👃Smoky with grapefruit & peach, florals, wet stones, & funky yeast notes. Nice
👅Dusty stones, lime & grapefruit. Salty, dry finish. Elegant
The remaining wine was "Slow Decanted" in my refrigerator
DAY 12
👃Musky, citrus & stones
👅lntense with a long finish that is smoky, candied, stony & dry. Nice acidity. Lovely & easy to drink
Tim Frohlich says his goal is to make wines of finesse & elegance. This 2015 Felsenberg succeeds on that and delivers more
