Immediate smell of barnyard, dried cowshit and sulfur. Could almost be mistaken for brett. Quite rich, lots of minerals. Improves immensely with air as the sulfur fades. Still not as potent as one would expect for a 05 Weil GG. Possibly slightly shut down. On the palate it is a bit low on acidity, but this improves with air. After a while in the glass it is stunning. Long, balanced and concentrated. Great wine that needs more time. In a way it is almost to "perfectly" made, and it lacks some of the wow factor of the Boxler it was compared against. But still great, and a fantastic flight with the 04 Boxler.

Dette er en av de beste hvite rieslingene jeg har smakt. Har nå kost meg med ca 10 flasker og må si at ALLE som èn har vært en stor nytelse. Stor smak er stikkord...frisk med en anelse sitrus og masse mineraler.
Vi har brukt denne til alt fra fisk til skalldyr og denne går til det meste!
