December 23, 2023 - Maybe and hopefully an odd bottle or a with a fault: quite flat in nose and on the palate, no fruit, nearly no acid. I don't thin that the wine is in a dumb phase.

September 6, 2023 - Good day 1, better day 2. From over 100 year old, ungrafted, vines. Great vibe, fruit and minerality.

May 31, 2021 - Bountiful aromas on the nose show above moderate intensity in scents of peach, nectarine, starfruit, green apple and lemon-lime with notes of slate, petrol, honeysuckle and hints of pink peppercorn.
The palate shows round textures and and good weight. The acidity is bright and juicy. Ripe flavors display peach and nectarine forefront with green apple, lemon-lime and starfruit flavors that come with details of rock and mineral, honeysuckle and a trace of petrol. The finish is unctuous and clean. -

October 27, 2019 - Unmistakable German Riesling character. Clean like a whistle, super fresh and lively. Still very young, no signs of development, it’s flowery and grapey, fragrant and delicate. Light on its feet yet complex, elegant and refined, there is real class here. Just slightly sweet and acidity is not sky high, it’s not your nervous Riesling but something more supple. Finishes with pollen aromas and a slight bitterness. Damn delicious.

Pale lemon in appearance. Med (+) intensity on the nose. White blossoms, lemon, grapefruit, kerosene, wet stones. Wine is developing. Off-dry with med (-) acidity. Body is med. Alcohol low. Flavour is med and palate has lemon, lime, steely and finishes med. Quality is good, well-balanced and acceptable complexity. Drink now with potential for age.
