A private lunch (Restaurant Hofgarten, Dernau, Germany): Identical to my note from three weeks ago, to which I would only like to add that the oak is still noticeable but of very high quality and perfectly judged. Drink from 2023-2033.

A private tasting (Weingut Meyer-Näkel, Dernau, Germany): As the lady behind the counter in the vinothek said: “Das ist eine ganz andere Adresse”. Built around a firm (almost austere) core of slate minerality which defines the wine, this is pure, precise, transparent, elegant and harmonious, juicy and fresh, well structured but playful and very charming; it delivers intensity without weight, and has excellent length. Top notch, give it five years.

Great nose, a lot of red fruit and still some tannins. If you can resist, leave it at least 5 more years in your cellar and it will be even better
