This is an oddball from the Gaia team and quite $$$. The half empty wine- bottle gained weight and flavor in my fridge door over a full week. Touch bitter, apricot, stone fruits, still very fresh and alive, citrus notes, touch honey 🍯 and some sprinkles of nuttiness. I wonder how this will evolve over the next five to ten years? It certainly has the stuffing to do so - kind of a sleeper wine. Given its evolution in the fridge, (shaken but not stirred à la James Bond). — 5 days ago

One of the best if not the best of the 22’s so far. Super layered. Minerality galore. Rich ripe pear, hint burned hazelnuts, white flowers, sour mandarin, jasmine some herbaceousness - green tea? There is so much stuffing here give it 5-10 years. — 15 days ago

Lacks a little bit secondary flavors of interest even after 5 years in the bottle. Might be in the Riesling dumm 🤪 phase. Citrusy. At 65$ just too expensive for what it is. — 9 days ago

Last tried in 2021. Still a ton of tannins left. A ton really. They might have overdone it. Better showing than the Corton-Pouget tonight!!!! Stinky nose. I am not convinced. — 19 days ago

Another winner from this producer. Punches way above its league! Quite aromatic. Meyer lemon, hint elderberry, plenty of minerals, Touch Hazelnuts already. Very impressive. Drink now . — 21 days ago

12.5%. Fantastic, Passionfruit, dried apricots, plenty of TDN (1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene). Tannic, acid, touch sweet. So good! — 9 days ago

14.5%. 🍎 apples, ripe, a big wine. Really well done yet over the top for me. Apple pie. A fantastic wine for asian food! I had a hard time with this one! On one side I was smitten and on the other side I was wondering what could this wine be with this quality grape material picked earlier and therefore less alcohol and more elegance? — 10 days ago

See previous notes. Less showy today. From one of the top vineyards in the Pfalz Germany. Quite herbaceous, very racy, coiled. Apricots, not overly acidic, minerals galore. Touch bitter. Sour mandarine. Needs 10 years or so. I would leave this alone for now!!! — 19 days ago
