Straight lime juice nose. Dense, concentrated and very, very ripe. Full of sweet juicy tropical fruits, pithy, yet ripe. Seems to gain intensity and power over the palate then is cleansed by lovely citrussy acidity. Superb.

Howard Ripley 2012 German Tasting (London): Pre-release sample. Beautifully seductive nose: apricot, cream, white chocolate. Palate is just out-of-this-world. I won't try to describe it as I can't do it justice. Up there with the very best wines I've tasted. Impossible not to swallow. 18/20.
