Tasting notes

This was a highly mineral effort in a somewhat traditional style. Yellow colour. Fine evolved and smokey nose, mineral, some honey and petrol. Fullbodied and dry riesling in the mouth. Mineral and quite stoney fruit. Underripe flowers, some honey. Minerally interesting and quite complex. Good concentration. Fine balance with crisp acidity and good length. Very fine riesling. Starting to drink well now, but will age further.

Straw colour. The nose shows honey, stones, minerality. Quite stoney. Some evolved notes starting to appear. Fine. Dry and fullbodied Pfalz-riesling in the mouth. Again stoney with some minerality with that layer of honey above it. Lightly complex. Still a bit on the young side. Fine acidity and length. Can be had right now, but try again in 2-3 years.
