    September 22, 2023 - No formal notes. Completely delicious. Stony, sweet, citrusy, light and easy drinking—bottle goes quick.

    July 11, 2022 - Chuggable drinky, this is delicately sweet, lime juice and crunchy white peach, salty and stony. In its prime, but this will motor for many years.

    January 4, 2021 - Glass: Zalto Universal
    Popped and poured, drunk over two days. Clear, pale lemon-green color. Clean, youthful and almost completely shut down nose, driven by reductive, sulphur and yeasty notes, that needs a lot of time and air to unfold some of its beautiful cassis, pear and herbaceous notes. Way too young!
    On the palate off-dry with a high, racy and wonderful integrated acidity. Only 7,5% abv. White peach, pear, herbs, some floral notes, citrus zests, yeasty and mineral. Very juicy, airy and almost fragile. Long, lingering finish with lots of white fruit, zests and stony mineral notes. Way too young! Wait at least 5+ years for this beauty to really come out of its she… 88++

    October 12, 2019 - I like this even better than my last bottle. Notes of wet stone minerality, some seashell, ripe apple, a touch of spices. It‘s light-bodied, but with beautiful mid-palate persistence, has pretty high acidity balancing the moderate sweetness perfectly. Very good length. A super liverly, mineral-driven and refreshing Kabinett full of tension.

    June 10, 2019 - What’s not to like? From the smooth, light-ish, sweet-tart nose on through the lime, wet stone/slatey and slightly sweet palate. Yum, fresh and vibrant. Reading the notes on this wine from others indicates to me that there might be some bottle variation, but this sample of one was very pleasing.
