The 2016 “Kalkofen” pours a golden color with maybe a slight sign of some gas? Obviously unintended. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of tropical fruit, petrol, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+(?) acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. There is so much squishy fruit that it seemed to trick the palate initially but with air, this started to show more acid. The finish is long. Drink now and through 2031…possibly longer considering the amount of youthful fruit present. Danke Tim!

Tremendous depth, laced with golden tree fruits, intense fruit balanced by complex and heady savory notes; verbena, aloe, cool herbs and white flower petals, wax and white tea. Edgy and coiled acidity at play here, WOTN for me
