chervil, lovage, watercress and yeast swirl headily on the nose. the palate subsumes these in a tight, taut, savory core of immense energy and power. there is muscle and tone, power and punch. if you are looking for a superlatively spicy, long-lived grüner, this is the one to get. underneath you will find notions of stone and earth that anchor this firmly. the finish is clean and long. drink 2017–2020.
