Tasting notes
Much denser and less expressive on the nose than its Kabinett counterpart. The sweetness overrides the (quite demanding) acidity at this point and it's still very unformed but all the ingredients are there. Needs patience. Lovely spring-flower impression. Very pure. (JR)

Full fathom five! Open your mind and let the stone-fruit, floral and blackberry aromas pour over you, as you sink into these calm depths, where everything that makes this grape special is present. And it\'s all so beautifully interwoven. The sweetness underlines all this in a nearly perfect way. Drink or hold.
AP number 10 21. Both smoky/stony and rich and brooding yellow peach, ripe greengage. It certainly has the initial impression of spontaneous fermentation but there's terrific fruit depth behind that. Powerful, deep, so fresh the sweetness is just part of the overall harmony. Long, pure citrus aftertaste with that smoky mineral note coming back on the finish. Almost chewy in its depth of flavour.
