Giuseppe Lauria Editor-in-Chief WEINWISSER APR23 (0,75l bottle): Despite the rather rich straw yellow, the racy freshness and iodine feel catapulted you straight to the sea. Crass mineral-cool bouquet with citrus foam and reminiscent of a roaring sea breeze whipping against the surf in the wintry Atlantic. Mature nuances, reminiscent of notes of orange zest and pastries, only appear with aeration. Delicate in the mouth, extremely demanding and dry as a bone, with racy tension, lots of citrus notes and citrus abrasion, plus a feeling of stone flour; powerful, stony finale with textually firm but fine perlage. Definitely needs air and some bottle aging. 18/20-2029

Tasting FEB20: Incredibly delicate and yet generous aromas, spiciness, presence, density, extremely long, not too sparse, honey, chocolate, very fine perlage, creaminess
