Golden. Strong botrytis nose. A whiff of petroleum but more glue and honey. Piercing acidity and very pure. Classy wine with very long finish. Excellent!

Cork. 8% alc. Jumps out of the glass. Tropical fruits, honey, white flowers, lime. Palate is settled and so well balanced…maybe just a little short. Good depth of material here though. Layered complexity. Keeps you coming back for another sip.

Decanted for 3-4 hours before drinking and then consumed over two days. Wow. This explodes with a wonderful array of tropical and stone fruit, honey, white flowers, lime, and lemon drops. Brilliantly big on the palate. There is a fair amount of residual sugar here, but it’s totally enveloped in a citrusy minerality. Absolutely seamless across the palate. A little viscous and very long. Lip smackingly beautiful. Better the second day. Drink now, or hold for as long as you …

A nose of lychee, honey and glimpses of petrochemical. Sweet and viscous, balanced perfectly with lively acidity. Seems to have long ageing potential.

Pineapple, honey, floral, spices and a mix of additional white/yellow tropical fruit notes on the nose. Between medium and full bodied (8% ABV) with simply spectacular depth and fantastic complexity. There are distinct notes of pineapple, orange and peach, but they are a shifting mix of white and yellow fruit in character and they come along with numerous other tropical hints peeking through. In addition to depth, there's tremendous richness through the middle rather than overt sweetness. Amazingly, this level …

Some smoky mineral reduction, then she’s all powdered lime. It’s like a vinous Fruit Tingle in the mouth. There’s the perfect amount of sweetness countered by ripping acidity. Fabulous intensity and length.

From magnum. When PnP, it tastes like mango syrup, and is almost cloying. After a few hours of aeration, layers of peach, lime, lemon zest, mangoes, white flowers, smokey flavours keep on unfolding, while nicely balanced by fruit-wrapped acidity. The finish is almost endless. It's very sweet, and becomes more ethereal and crisp with air. If you must rush to drink now, keep it well chilled throughout the whole aeration process. Better still, cellar this wine for as long as …

Magnificent 6 Ride Again : Smoke, orange, lemon, pear and coconut. Ripe and sweetly exotic with lovely length and flow. Still needs plenty of time to develop and evolve but this is still delicious right now.

Magnificent! Deep fruit, razorsharp acidity, mile long finish. Still not very developed bouquet but with the sheer masses of fruit it will take time. Palatewise it is open though and it will stay open forever. No crime to drink this now. The sweet, creamy fruit is gorgeous.

A touch of flinty/smoky reduction to the nose. It is a wine of great drive and posture. Seriously deep, sweet flavours are cut by electric acidity.

Wonderful wine but I'll try to hold my next bottle until 2027!

AP 16 11. Perhaps this was in a bad place, but it wasn't as extraordinary as I remember this being shortly after release. The best way to describe it is that it was exceptionally rich and blindingly acidic, but it lacked some of the filling in between to make this truly exceptional. Think as though the spectrum enhancer on a sound system was turned up at the extremities - it's definitely thrilling, even appealing at first, but your ear longs …

Pale straw color, faint green tinge. Honeysuckle nose amidst green apple white nectarine bouquet with mineral, crushed rocks, white peach, lemon peel, spice & cream notes. Medium plus weight, fairly buoyant, airy, juicy, fresh & crisp pome, stone & citrus fruits on palate; slightly sweet with zesty acidity in superb balance, imparting youthful vivacity & high-pixelled definition. Long crisp acid finish.

At Noosa with Pearl Perch and Chips on the waterfront ! Brilliant green-gold. Nose of lime, grapefruit, touches of apricot, slate and spearmint. Palate intense with great grip and length : medium sweetness lifted and balanced by fine acid/fruit balance. A beautiful wine for all occasions - this one a special picnic !

Beat your 2014 WOTY Dinner : 375ml. Pineapple, spice and peach, some mandarin and vanilla. Great balance on the palate, the flavour intensity is there but the acid shapes and drives the wine. Delicious but also potential to improve.

Goodbye to Izzy & Rachel (and Meyer!) (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL) : From magnum. Beautiful from start to finish. Izzy gave the magnum a shake and I think it really helped liven the wine up. The nose was gorgeous with loads of peaches, smokey mangos, and lychee. Fresh, pure, stately. I was surprised how accessible this was already.

A fond farewell for Izzy and Rachel (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL) : Nose: The nose is very youthful and aromatic with green apples, white fruits, peaches, apricots, and some white florals. This is showing a lot of depth and class even at this nascent stage. Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity. There is a litheness to the feel with green apples, white fruits, white florals, and some peaches. There is a lot of youth to the feel with a …

Apple and grapefruit concentrate, lime, some mint, pure honey and refined minerality. Very nice, intense, but somewhat closed, promises dormant power in the deep. In the mouth full and muscular. Deep flavours, typical mosel colours, but still shows an aristocratic reticence, not giving all its values immediately. On the midpalate it forms dense core with fine minerality, with the vibrant, razor-precise acidity it is absolutely focused producing quite long, but not unbelievable lond finish. Very good balance. Primarily it was …

Vertical tasting of Prum, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese GK 2009, 2010 and 2011. Textbook! The 2009 was the ripest and fattest. The 2010 had the highest acidity and was the most impressive wine today. The 2011 had less of everything. Same aromatic profile in all three wines. Clear producer footprint with the typical rotten egg nose of young Prüm (sulphur). Great showing, and great fun to compare these youngsters, very different and very true to the vintage!

TN from day 12. his was a tight wall of mineral on day one, to the point I could not get my head around the wine. I left 3 oz in a half blle, drank one of them two nights ago and the last bit tonight. Slightly more pale than the regular W-S auslese, but in all other aspects just a lot more. Huge floral and stone-slatiness on the nose. There is citrus, but also a little hints of tropical …
