Another terrific vintage for this wine. One of the most exciting in all of Germany. Complex nose of an intense vanilla extract, leesy quality and unreal minerals and a confectionary quality. Lime zest. Hint of seltzer. Some hints of tropical fruits like kumqwats, mandarin orange and apricot. Also a sense of creaminess. Wow. Palate is so elegant, dense, yet lithe and elegant. Gorgeous purity and freshness. Long, nervy, creamy and mineral. A beautiful wine. Village level Burg quality here. Incredible finesse and sweetness from the intense fruit and mineral extract. Vibrates on the palate. Just incredible. As this opens it sharpens and gets more angles and even juicer. What a wine. Nose gets so much more complex. Incredible florals. Stunning. Leather. Herbs. Just a work of genius.

N: Very confectionery, lots of lime, as kaffir, almost peppermint stick, yellow and white flowers.Crushed white rock.
P: Big spritz on the front of the mouth,
Green apple, lime, very delicate on the palate, juicy but never cloying. Very refreshing. Very mineral. Waiting on it to open more.

Unscrew and pour. This is a revelation. This btl showed basically no fruit for 30 min, but was already very compelling. After 30 min: kaffir lime, vanilla. cotton candy, loads of crushed stone. On the palate: solid acidity, fantastic density. Vanilla, sweet lime, quinine. grapefruit bitterness. Maybe a touch thin on the finish, but excellent otherwise. Yum!
