This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.

Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.

Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.

Big time raspberry spice cake. Decadent aromas with gorgeous limestone and complicating aromas of pulverized rock dust. Big jelly donut vibes. Palate is just stunning. Young and a bit inverted but huge chewy depth, raspberry intensity, black cherry intensity and gorgeous, virile tannins. Juicy and so explosive with tiny berry fruit intensity that is a knockout. So complex and juicy and obviously young but in 3-4 hours this will get to 9.8. I know it will. Amazing acidity and it’s insane how much it’s changed since barrel last summer. My god it’s so juicy and decadent. The fruit clarity is off the charts. Unreal purity and density and so so so god damn juicy. — 2 months ago

Very nice. Has that great tension you always hope to see in Riesling. Quite a ripe nose. Great body and acid. Just that hint of sweetness, more a suggestion than a presence. — 18 days ago

No wine for 5 days while recovering from a canker sore. Coming back strong. No formal notes but mineral and so focused. Great Rheinhessen weight and density. Nimble though. Super long finish. Unreal purity. — 2 months ago

Last drank 4 mo ago; aromas on this bottle are more intense than my previous notes. Lots of sappy red fruit, dark rose, and a lot of violets. Palate also sappy, with tart acid. Really a fantastic value at around 20 USD. Bought a case; will go well with Thanksgiving dinner. — a month ago
