An expansive, airy, and heady perfume that shows vibrant floral, stone fruit, and intense mineral elements. It’s a gorgeous nose, one that created a quiet at the table when it was first poured. The palate, oddly, doesn’t show the energy that is suggested by the nose, nor the complexity. It’s perfectly fine, but indistinct. We popped and poured and finished the bottle in an hour so maybe it needed more air time? My instinct is no though, and I would open and enjoy these if I had more.

An evening with wine geeks (Private location, Trier): 12% abv. First vintage of Gernot Kollmann. Complex nose, fresh, fine slate. Very mineral on the palate, complex, youthful, long. Very good and not yet at its peak. Give it 5-10+ years. 92-93
