May 30, 2022 - Really loving this varietal I'd never heard of before: Arneis. Medium-light straw-lemon color. Lemon, lime, green apple, apple blossom, and minerals on the nose. Taste is crisp and delightful. Green apple, lemon, minerality, and a saline-like finish with a slight yeasty/buttery taste at the very end.
March 16, 2022 - Vibrant Arneis, with tons of verve and depth. Rich mouthfeel, with a palate full of ripe orchard fruit and white flowers. Zippy acid and mouthwatering salinity. Long, winning finish with a hint of petrol. Better 4 hours in the at pnp. Very high quality, and tremendous QPR. 91-92
February 16, 2022 - On day two, lots of texture on the nose. White flowers. Long finish, density.
December 27, 2021 - Feiner, spannender Arneis vom schwarzen Engel und seinen Söhnen. Großartiger Name! In der Nase kaum Frucht. Ein wenig Weinbergpfirsisch und Aprikose vielleicht. In erster Linie mineralisch und blumig, mit Noten von nassem Stein, Kreide und feinem Rauch. Frisch und elegant auf jeden Fall. Am Gaumen auch sehr frisch, mit wenig Frucht und feiner Rauchigkeit. Trocken, leicht salzig, mit ganz filigraner Säure, die in einen langen, eleganten Abgang führt, unablässig begleitet von dieser zarten Salzspur. Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut.
