"Enormously deep, flinty nose with great candied citrus and dried herb complexity. Super-focused and precise palate, and the power and concentration are wonderfully underplayed. Incredibly long, racy and chalky finish. Wild-fermented and matured on the lees in small oak cooperage. Unfiltered. Drink or hold."

"It is essentially the second wine behind the Schlossberg, which is more hedonistic and complete. Here, the reduction is more pronounced, expressing itself through wet stone, incense and flint. The citrus fruit takes on a candied character. Overall, everything is stricter and more austere, with the acidity still quite brash. The toasty notes from ageing in small oak barrels (about 30% new) and the butteriness developed during two years on the fine lees still need time to come to terms with themselves."
