Glass: Zalto Bordeaux Popped and poured, drunk over two days. Clear, pale golden color. Clea, pronounced youthful-developing nose. Lots of ripe yellow stone fruit, rock flour, fresh herbs, lime. Dense, complex and multi-layered. On the palate dry, high, ripe acidity, balancing the 13% abv beautifully. Wonderful grip and tension! Zesty notes, lots of rock flour, ripe stone fruit, some grapefruit, tobacco leaves. Very phenolic. Very long, fruit and zesty finish. Delicious and very joyful already, but certainly not yet at its very full peak. 94+

A small impromptu dinner with Paul and Charles (Q by Peter Chang - Bethesda, Maryland): Expressive nose displaying ripe sweet yellow fruit, peach, lemon curd, baked apple, a hint of petrol, spicy spices and crushed rocks. Excellent concentration, nicely layered concentrated ripe yellow fruit, rich, dense and deeply toned but also show good precision and detail, bright acidity, strong mineral, and a long sweet concentrated yellow fruit driven finish. This is a big scale Riesling that is drinking beautifully.

Kleur: Licht goudgeel, opvallend donker (voor Riesling). Aroma / bouquet: Bescheiden maar aangenaam bouquet, bescheiden 'goût de pétrol', een overrijp geel appeltje en een hint van nougat. Smaak / Afdronk: Een bijzondere combinatie. Enerzijds in alles Riesling, anderzijds opvallend rijk en rond. Een uitgesproken frisse zuurgraad, retronasale impressies van rijp citrusfruit, peer en gele appel. Lafdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Serieus grootse Riesling met nog enkele jaren toekomst voor zich. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 92/100
Colour: Light golden yellow, strikingly dark (for Riesling). Aroma / bouquet: Modest but pleasant bouquet, modest 'goût de pétrol', an overripe yellow apple and a hint of nougat. Taste / Aftertaste: A special combination. On the one hand Riesling in everything, on the other hand remarkably rich and round. A pronounced fresh acidity, retronasal impressions of ripe citrus fruit, pear and yellow apple. cowardice. General / potential: Seriously great Riesling with a few years of future ahead of it. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Aftertaste: 17 + General / potential: 8 = 92/100

1. Advent and what a treat
Right in the window, minerals and lime in the nose, apricot and peach at taste with a long finish
