  3/1/2016 - Bandreas Likes this wine:

  Tasted twice in the last 5 days. Seductive Golden color, fragrant nose but on the palate the wine leaves - for me - to be desired.
  There is something blunt and cut-off there (probably the cut acidity)that I just cannot bring myself to like. Something is definitively missing there.
  looking through my notes of the tasting in 2013 I see that I judged this wine to be one of the best of the tasting....
  I'll stay off this producer until they change their wine-making style. Unfortunately I still have a number of bottles in the cellar. They will
  mostly go to undiscerning guests.

  Nice and fragrant bouquet: Some minerals, some acidity, acacia, flowers etc.
  on the palate the wine is abrupt as if cut short (which they did, cutting the acidity and maybe a couple of other things.)
  A pity they make such a hash out of a potentially great site and a great grape variety.
  I think it is best to avoid this producer until they have their act together again, by which I mean produce a wine in the traditional way and style.

  Medium golden color;
  on nose citrus fruit, lemon grass and also -surprisingly- grapefruit which I normally associate with Sauvignon Blanc. Then the smell becomes softer.
  Actually quite pleasant..
  on Palate the wine is a disappointment: is has some acidity but is blunt and lacks freshness and elegance.

  Pale golden color; pleasant and fresh nose, smell of lemon and lemon zest, good acidity.
  On palate round; a touch dull but with the acidity tempering the dullness; again: I get the impression that they cut something in - and smoothened out -the wine to make it more palatable to the general public.
  Somehow it is incomplete and leaves one with a sense of lacking fulfillment.
  The bouquet is the best part of this wine.
  Let's see how this develops over the next couple of years.

  Saeure fast noch feiner als beim gleichen Wein von der Inneren Leiste, sehr schoen auf der Nase, angenehm mineralisch und elegant. Sollte Potenzial fuer ein paar Jahre haben.
