Community Tasting Notes 9

    June 16, 2022 - Showing even better than my note from 2020. This has classic Nahe aromatics of peach and flowers, and the fruit has really filled out on the palate to bring this into balance. Seems like it's drinking at peak to me. If you've been waiting, I would recommend opening a bottle to check in.

    September 25, 2021 - From 75cl, perfect cork, P+P. This was sensational on opening, and deteriorated far too swiftly over the subsequent 90 minutes. At best: Slate, lime, "white fruits"; racy acidity, beautiful pure sweet balance; tingling, tense mid-palate; minerality and length on the finish. But after 30 minutes it started falling apart—went flabby and dull. Drink up. 89P(?)

    February 2, 2020 - The last 18 months have really been kind to this wine. The nose now shows peach, floral notes, and maybe some raspberry, thought it speaks quietly. And the fruit has emerged on the palate! It's still a light wine, and it definitely leans a bit towards the bright side, but there's sufficient fruit density that it's achieved much better balance than earlier in its life. The finish has a pleasantly bright/nearly tannic peach skin quality. Hopefully the next months will see further positive development, and then I would expect this to be in a good place for summer drinking.

    May 24, 2019 - Tasted next to a barrel sample of the 2018. Hints of evolution on the nose, less fruit driven, more herbal, mineral with hints of petrol and yellow stone fruit. On the palate very vibrant and lively, super balance and power, nice mineral core, very good length. Drink or keep. 92-94

    September 28, 2018 - Nose: lime, gooseberry, nice green notes, wet rocks, flint, hint of thyme
    Taste: medium bodied, high acidity, lime, lemon, unripe nectarine, wet stones, pure, very fresh, razor like acidity, complex and long, very mineral and green riesling with great intensity
