  February 21, 2022 - Decantado cuatro horas. Color amarillo pálido. Aroma intenso y vivo de alta calidad, se inicia con potentes notas de gas, seguido de fruta blanca fresca, tropical, manzana ácida y flores, finalizando con nuevas notas minerales. Boca elegante, fina, suave y estructurada, con gran acidez, muy vivo y reproduce las sensaciones olfativas sobre todo manzana ácida y alta mineralidad y final muy largo.
  Este excelente riesling deberá ir mejorando durante varias décadas. Un auténtico placer.

  December 12, 2021 - Color: light gold
  Nose: octane and hydrocarbons. Very strong ceran wrap. Wet stone. Lychee and ripe peach. Definitely has a reductiveness to it
  Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-full body. Dominated by ripe lychee and peach. Octanes less present here
  Finish: medium-long
  
  Styled in a dry way, this at this stage really needs to sit open in broad decanter for 2 hours. Otherwise you will get a thin palate that underwhelms. Room temp also helps. This is a little less characterful than other dry-style German rieslings I have had, but it has a length that I consider epic for the genre. I suspect this has to sit for another decade to give its best, but it's great now too

  October 20, 2021 - SLDS October 2021: Smoke, mango, melon and spice on the nose. Palate has good texture with spark and kick to it, dry as expected. Good length and balance, solid but perhaps without the excitement factor to take it up a notch.

  April 9, 2021 - Slight shame here - lovely nose, with a super combination of diesel, smoke and tropical fruit, but the palate was marred by a sassafras flavour that I just couldn't get past. Wonder if there was a slight flaw as the other reviews are so strong, and I've only had positive experiences with this producer before.

  March 16, 2021 - Expected this to be too young but this showed very well. Smokey, with ripe yellow fruit, lip-smacking. Shame I only had one bottle.
