Needs an hour decant.

N: white flowers. Faintly tropical. Intense white flowers as this opens.

P: crisp. Mineral. Delicious. Silky peach. Very elegant as it opens. More an enveloping hug of flavor than a wall. More profound less powerful. So silky. So perfect. Perfect mountain stream.

An hour in this is German Puligny. From sylvaner. Yes. I know.

Like a 10 minute finish. Lemon peel. Savory a bit.

Sick.

Such a gorgeous wine. Nose is wintergreen, lentils, yellow curry, ripe apples and more. So mineral. Juicy with just super crisp acids and so long. Refined like you wouldn’t believe. Terrific inner mouth aromas and such chunky minerality. So juicy. — 6 months ago

Vintage 2017 | Amazing how fresh the Franken Silvaner stays after bottle and cellar years. Honeymelon and citrus in smell, minerality in taste, crisp and fresh. Almonds in aftertaste. Paired with Thai Pad Kra Pao from tofu. | second day with sole and asparagus, very adequate. — a year ago

Fantastic. Brilliant palate. Superb integration and confident. So elegant. Mineral on an elemental level and such luscious mouthfeel with such a nice touch of lush opulence. Masterful. Aromas are a bit mute as it was in the back of the fridge. Lol. — 2 months ago

Confectionery aromas but also a richness. Gorgeous, complex aromas. Spice, cotton candy, umami. Palate is rich, ripe but also has that bee sting quality. Unreal purity and balance. Super clean. What an opulent mid palate. Stunningly delicious. — a month ago
