Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 4, 2016 - This wine is a beast! I'm sure theres more to come from this wine in the decades to come, but this wine knocked me again completely. The color is golden yellow at this point, and the aromas coming out of the glass are dense and rich. Theres a massive wall of minerals and grape charachter just rising from the glas, the concentration of minerality is second to none. A dense nose of cured lemon, lemon cest, pine, sage, chalk, and pinapple, and almost like an oystershell air.
In the mouth it just puts every other riesling in a lower league.
The pure fruit concentration and the vibrant acidity creating the balance is what makes this stand out for me. The aromas are nice & fatty, almost oily lemon cesty in its profile, but the acidity cutting through makes it come together as a knockout. Its really really dry, I was expecting a slightly sweeter fruit from the nose, but no no, make no mistake, this is on the 'salty' side of riesling fruit. A real treat. I have a hard time remembering anything coming close to this. Something from Berncastel from Thanish probably, but then we are in the green apple profile, this is a lemon dream. Resisting to put 96 only because I think it is actually quite demanding to drink more than 2 glasses:)
