Wonderful wine. It really is amazing how smokey the finish is. Beautiful, seamless aromas. The palate expresses iron and metallic notions and is slightly chunky in texture, mixed with a floral component. Fantastic length and wonderful acid go very long on the finish. Beautiful stuff with fantastic tension throughout.

(Nigl Riesling "Privat" Senftenberger Pellingen) ($67.00) Six kinds of smoke. The palate is extraordinary, spectacular, ringent and swollen all at once; a mansion made of leaves and herbs held together by the collagen of a sous-vide veal loin with black truffles and the tiniest dab of eucalyptus honey. I’d live there! Endless long echo of finish, both vaporous and deep.

Late note, I don't remember all details. But this was a revelation, reductive, outstanding minerality and acidity, it was a pleasure to drink.

God syre og mineralitet. Smak av grapefrukt, lime og hint av tropiske aromaer, er det kokos? Brukbar lengde og fyldighet.

Reserved nose. Ripe fruited and spicy with a juicy feel.
