  F.X. Pichler Riesling Unendlich full vertical (1998-2017) (Restaurant Waldhorn, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Gabriel Standard
  Opened about 1h before drinking, not decanted. Perfect bottle!
  Clear, deep golden color, still very young. Clean, medium+ intense and rather youthful nose. Deep, herbaceous, ripe Amalfi citrus, smoke. Great perfume!
  Wow! Amazing wine! Still young. The complexity and flavors of 2015 and 2007, but with a perfectly integrated alcohol. Never hot, never broad or massive! Lots of ripe citrus, some clean botrytis. Great texture, wonderful acidity. Looong! So fresh and joyful! Wonderful experience. This bottle is certainly at its full peak, but will stay there for at least 5+ years. My WOTN! 96-97

  This is as close to being a WOW wine as you can get 94+. PnP, minerality kept increasing, a little oxidized, but a fantastic wine. LOOOOOONG. MINERAL. This is a Grand Cru wine no doubt about it.

  Blind California Cult Cabernet Tasting (Mill Creek, WA): My notes say that the label showed well over 15% alchohol. The wine sure doesn’t show it on the nose or the palate. Very nice citrus nose that also shows some botrytis and spice. The palate didn’t have nearly the amount of honeyed sweetness that I expected because of the nose, but there were nice lemon/lime flavors. Probably because I usually drink Rieslings like this on the younger side. Long finish – unending may be a stretch, but it’s still long... Not as distinctive as I had expected, but still very nice.

  Christianne's Dinner (San Francisco): Excellent. Rich in sweet fruit, but searingly (in a good way) dry. Loads slate and not as much "botrytis fat" as I seemed to remember in the past. This has tons of upside.

  Stunningly good wine. Ultra pure Riesling flavors with a really natural feel. Really big and flashy, but never overdone and with great definition and backbone. Better than I had hoped. Textured and ripe like it may have some botrytis; either way, just delicious.
