Well i think the 2010 vintage was a bust but this 2012 is stellar. A cellar find - i cleaned up - did bring it to a party were - i am sorry to say / the “clowns” (except the host) did not get what was in front of them so 1/3 of the bottle was left behind. Bottle 343 out of 450. Super earthy and big. Just 13% more a steak pinot - than a salmon one. Tea leaves, dark fruit, iodine, lime. Will put this under Argon and drink the rest tomorrow! — 2 months ago

I just love this wine. Great on pop and pour but it’s approaching profound after 45 minutes.

Nose: lemon. White flowers. Finely powdered minerals. A sexy roundness.

Palate: such bright acidity. Perfect lemon. So mineral. Good depth.

Amazing pfalz typicity.

This is backwards out of the gates but it’s all there. Huge density, power and concentration while remaining fresh and incisive. Needs an hour and I will be back. Needed way more than an hour. Still on day 2 this is dense and sinewy. Really structured but so fresh. Acts like high end Crozes or baby Hermitage. On day 3 this has finally come around! Like the 18 and 15! Unreal aromas and so expansive. Sweet, dense and long 9.4 to 9.5. But it was like pushing a boulder up a cliff. — 3 months ago

Nose: explosively powdered minerals. Lemon flower.

Palate: incisively mineral. Lemon. Good not elite density.

Very Pfalzy. Even if it is Baden.
