Scintillating aromas of english peas, confectionary grapes, fresh herbs and minerals. True scene in nature stuff here. Crushed rocks and a meadow after a fresh rain. Gorgeous. Palate is so harmonious and pure with awesome freshness and purity. Razor sharp acidity and a palate staining finish. Some wild mint now on the nose. Juicy, incisive, invigorating and so concentrated. So sapid on the finish and really sticks in your gums with razors and opulence. Just a brilliant Sylvaner. Will be back as it evolves. This got so energetic after air and the opulence dialed back. Wonderful. — 4 months ago

A very ripe vintage here.
Nose: tropical fruits. Yellow flowers.
Palate: tropical. Mineral of course. Delicious. Not as razor like as other vintages.
Needs 2-3 years or a serious decant now. Day 3 much better. It’s gone from goofily tropical to seriously tropical. Great balance. You get that weltner razor like balance. Bravo. More lemon on the palate with elegant 33% pineapple.

Interesting. Quite elegant and not as fruit driven as i am used to. Tastes almost like a Sauvignon Blanc with added fruit such as Passionfruit, tart apple. Hint Jasmine. A FASS wine. 12%. — 5 months ago

This NEEDS a and hour decant. Do NOT a drink sooner.
Nose: yellow flowers. White flowers. Lovely. Really a great nose.
Palate: lemon Zest. Hints of tropical fruit. Mineral. A bit confused. Let’s see where this goes.
As this opens its like elite unoaked condrieu. Silky minerals. Just a hint of tropicality it not so much as to make it annoying. Elegant. Wow.
A great contrast to weltner which is denser and more impactful. This is way on the elegant side of things. Wispy.
Very distinctive

Lots of wintergreen on the nose with herbs and minerals. Not much fruit initially but clean, precise and focused. Really nice lotion/lanolin aspect as well. But wow the focus like a laser. Palate is so clean and pure. Amazing finesse and like rain water. So sapid and pure. Long. Needs to open but it is all there. The purity is astonishing. — 13 days ago
