  Tight and fresh, young. Better on the second day. Excellent village.

  Walk around tasting, so just short notes.: Beautiful village wine. Clean and not too complicated. Nicely dry, good acidity and some mineral impressions.

  I knew this youngster would need a good amount of air, so I opened it 5 hours prior to drinking, but it was still quite reticent.
  Very little fruit came forward initially and the wine was a study in nuanced notes of minerality, spice and smoke.
  I decided to put the wine into a decanter, which is not something I typically like doing with Riesling. I feel like with a lot of Riesling you risk giving the wine too much air and it will lose focus besides missing that beautiful evolution as the wine slowly opens.
  On this particular evening I probably should have just put the cork back in and saved this bottle for another night, but I was lucky that the decant did the trick!
  The wine seemed to instantly gain additional energy and with every moment onward it got more and more zippy.
  Beautifully fresh mint notes led the way along with piquant apples on this young and racy wine. It had persistent minerality that eventually expressed itself as wonderfully saline and fresh, reminiscent of an ocean breeze.
  Patience is required on this tightly wound Riesling of incredible potential. To think that this is a mere village level wine is incredible. This bottling is special and if you have any, find a safe spot for it in your cellar.

  Light colour, less depth than the 2019 of this or the Goldtropfchen, green fruits and mirabelle tart. Dry and quite strict acidity, some supple texture on the midpalate. Open and quite friendly.
