40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg): My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
This wine: Fantastic nose.

Expressive stone fruit smell, peach or nectarine. The most fruit forward of PJ Kühn’s wines I remember tasting. White pepper, coriander seed perhaps. Zippy juicy fruit seam, typical of the style. Huge concentration, nectar like. Wonderful length.

Tropical nose. Honeyed with a light texture. The short finish begs for more generosity with this bone dry style. Not much fun but mineral wine lovers will enjoy this. I prefer a dash of residual sugar to plump up my Rieslings. This is a stick insect.... Drink my last bottle in 5 years??

Gooseberry, lime, iodine. Striking bright golden colour with a tinge of green. Light to medium bodied, taut and mineral, great salty mineral concentration. Clean and pure. A whiff of smoke on the finish. Excellent.

What to do in a summer heat wave? Yes, enter a one star restaurant with a terrace towards the river Elbe! So there is a fine view on the working 24/7 big Hamburg port and a slightly fresh breeze from the west, very good structured, still young with a good+ mouthfeel and some supporting acid, some chalky tones, yellow, more zesty fruit, light and refreshing, good length, enjoy over the next 5+ years, **(*- ?), around 88, 89(+)
