December 31, 2023 - Opens with interesting Unami mushroom note. Mouth is restrained some underripe cherry and earth.
Left open for a while to see if improved didn’t really. -

January 29, 2023 - AP 10. Chunky medium build. Geologically transparent, filled with flavors of broken boulders. Tea-fresh kirsch and framboise tumble rapidly. Some appetizing bitter rose petal presses its drinkability. If I owned a bottle I might like to keep it for another few years. 2027-2030.

June 30, 2021 - Muted nose with very limited fruit. Low alcohol at 12.5% but a drying finish. Somewhat green finish too. Ok, but I expected better. Their white wines are much better.

May 8, 2021 - Light and floral Mosel pinot with medium plus acidity, soft tannins and some minerality on the palate, as well as dry cherries and apricots. Decanted for a few hours but may not have needed to. Not especially balanced on the whole but an interesting wine. Paired well with spicy Pakistani food.
