Translate to English Sehr dicht und tief in der Nase, nach Mineralien, Kräutern, Honigmelonen, Birnen und hochreifem Steinobst. Sehr saftig im Mund, glasklare Frucht, Stoff und knackige Säure, tiefe Mineralität am Gaumen, viel Schmelz, große Nachhaltigkeit, sehr harmonischer Bau, noch nicht wieder in Bestform, aber dennoch beeindruckend aufgrund seiner Tiefe, Komplexität und Länge. Legt derzeit über Tage zu. Dekantieren oder warten.

Editor note: Exceptionally deep, intense, beguiling aromas of peaches, citrus fruit, pears, green apples, fine herbs and minerals. Deep, racy, well bred and completely closed in the mouth, incredible mineral structure and perfect acidity, profound, complex and gripping, extremely persistent on the palate, aristocratic style, draws you completely into its spell, fantastic length. To spit out this wine causes physical pain. Will probably still improve with time.
