  Final bottle. Fully mature by now, rich and spicy, honeyed nose, with lovely depth; very more-ish palate with tropical fruit flavours, aromatic green herbs, mouthfilling but with elegant weight (13% ABV), relatively low acidity; slightly light finish, dried yellow fruit, very good length. Drink up.

  Glass: Gabriel Standard
  One glass poured with Coravin.
  Clear, pale lemon-golden color, still very youthful. Clean, medium intense youthful-developing, complex and beautiful nose: White blossoms/floral notes, spices, honey, mineral notes, pear, white pepper.
  On the palate dry with the vintage typical medium+ but ripe acidity that gives this wine a vibrant tension and very good structure. Medium alcohol and body. Medium+ intense flavors, driven by secondary/tertiary aromas: Salty mineral notes, herbs, slight vegetable notes and only in the background some white fruit (pear). Lots of grip, echoing on the palate, perfectly balanced and even with a nice creamy mouthfeel never fat or brought but very elegant. Long, lingering finish. That’s how Silvaner is made! I guess is it close to its full peak, but not already there and has at least 5+ year of potential. 92-93. Very good PQR.

  Identical to my previous note; this is a striking Silvaner, with a lovely tension between the rich, tropical fruit and the cool, bright, 2010-acidity, in the crystalline setting provided by jeweler KP Keller. Fully mature, loses its grip on the second day.

  Broadly speaking, this wine is just about what you would expect it to be. It displays lovely, ripe Wonnegau fruit (almost GG weight), it has the freshness of the 2010 vintage and it bears the crystalline stylistic imprint of its maker. There is lovely varietal typicity and the bitters noted last year have receded. The only qualm remains that the finish lacks conviction and definition - it tails off a bit. That aside, this is a lovely wine, fully mature now, that warrants drinking over the next 2-3 years.

  Lovely purity and precision, perfectly representing grape variety, region and wine grower, very good tension (but no dichotomy) between crisp acidity and ripe fruit; the bitters are slightly too pronounced right now, in particular on the finale - for my taste at least. We may need to wait for a bit. On the second day it has lost grip and is a bit loose. Maybe not wait too long?
