September 27, 2023 - The nose has quite a bit of depth with notes of lemon, herbs, honey, petrol, and white mushrooms. Good acidity on the palate with more lemon notes, orange, hay, honey, but completely dry. Nice finish. This wine is fully mature now and had aged quite beautifully, but I wouldn't hold this much longer.

July 29, 2019 - Day 2. This is better when cold as it's definitely a warmer and fuller version of this wine (always has been.) Tons of orchard fruit (peach, apple, pear), some apricot, lots of spices, massive saline and mineralty and brothiness. Similar on the palate - spicy and peach and apple and peach pit, really salty and juicy. When warm this loses some focus and gets more bitter. The finish is saline, minerals and bitter pit. This showed better than I expected - keep it cold and drink up. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5-5.5/6, Finish - 4.5-5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 16-17/20.

September 14, 2017 - Prager Dinner with Robert Bodenstein (Chicago, IL): Like the Achleiten, stewy and likely heat-damaged.

December 23, 2015 - I rather liked this wine. Opens up with a nice petrol nose, telltale streak of Wachau acidity, white peppery, flinty finish. But after a few hours the acidity disappears and the warmth of the vintage appears. Very well balanced compact yet complex. But not getting better from here and should enjoy my last bottle sooner rather than alte.r
