Consumed in honor of this great producer. Beautiful somewhat restrained crisp white fruit, backed by a strong but not overbearing acid backbone. Nice with sushi. RIP Willi.

This was awesome with a duck breast and creamed spinach. Still some crunchy dark red fruit though the youthful brightness has evolved to show more depth. Solid acid backbone remains to give this some staying power on the palate. Showed much better than a recent 2010 Abbey's, very happy with this bottle.

No notes on this wine so I might as well leave one for posterity. Purchased 8 bottles almost a decade ago, this is the last bottle for which I paid $5.
A few bottles were dead, but this one is still in quite good shape. Cork was soaked and slid out easily but the wine is solid and typically correct, still showing plenty of sugars delivering pear and yellow fruit with a bit of soapy overtones. Lacks some of the complexity of a Baumard but very drinkable and this last bottle exceeded my expectations.
