  April 30, 2024 - Exotic tropical fruit/subtle Jack fruit, fresh apricot, white lily, savoury and flinty, some residue sugar with fizziness, fresh acidity with intense ripe fruit to balance it. Well made Nahe with typical ripe fruit characters.

  February 25, 2024 - Nose: Gently bitter lime skins littered on top of clean grass. Sun-basked earthiness with really enjoyable funk emanating from hay cooking in the sun. The funk goes away with air, leaving fresh pomelo flesh, fresh minerality, with bright and unripe pineapple slices. There is a very subtle hint of either burnt honey or freshly baked loaves of bread.
  
  Palate: Similar fruits from the nose with similar freshness and medium acidity. Taking in air while the juice is on the palate brings out whiffs of petrol notes. The earthiness on the palate is at war with the acidity, both fighting to gain ground but ends up constantly in a stalemate. It’s not boring, but it doesn’t go anywhere. With some air, a bit of prickly spice appears.
  
  I recommend serving this a bit chilled as this seemed to get a bit weighty as it came to room temp. The petrol notes stand out more as well with higher temps. One thing I noticed as well, as the wine just sat in the glass, there were very small amounts of bubbles that started forming but they stuck to the glass. I was wondering if that's what was causing the prickly texture on the palate (which was nice to me). 93-94

  January 12, 2024 - At the beginning there are so many sour tastes that emerges with a delicate mix of lemon, grapefruit, limecest and acidity in general. There is stone and minerality as expected from this region, but in a very right balanced way. It's not rough in any way just very immature. I'm not tasting any stonefruits, just sourness.
  
  Enjoyment? Yes, but this young I need food with it to make it work. I'm sure this will change in 10 (?) years.
