This nose has an insane perfume. Spice, smoke, chalk, citrus, mango, tangerine, peach, confectionary and it’s got so much depth and purity. So focused and narrows it’s got lasers. Dense and chewy and unreal saltiness. Smokey as well and just so enveloping. What a finish. Almost tannic. Intensity. Acidity higher than schlossberg and probstey. Less ripe but more depth. So clean. Unreal. — a year ago
Perhaps something is off with my palate today, but tasting one of the world‘s great rieslings was a massive disappointment. Can’t get past the extraction and the insanely high alcohol that dwarfs the moderate acidity and faint minerality. Highly extracted phenolics. Least disappointing of the lineup, but worst once you factor in price — 3 months ago
