Critic tasting note: (1970 vintage) "Bright, crisp, strawberries, cranberries, tomato, tobacco, and herbs are the focus of this lean, green wine. Light and austere, the wine tasted far older than its true age. Drink from 2024-2025." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

When to drink: 2021 to 2032
1970 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2024
Bright, crisp, strawberries, cranberries, tomato, tobacco, and herbs are the focus of this lean, green wine. Light and austere, the wine tasted far older than its true age. Drink from 2024-2025.

1970 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2009
Helles Karmingranat, orangefarbene Reflexe, breiter Wasserrand. In der Nase zunächst zart floral, ein Hauch von rotem Paprika, dann Zedernholz, Havannatabak, facettenreiches Bukett. Am Gaumen süßes Erdbeerkonfit, zeigt eine etwas trockene Säurestruktur, insgesamt etwas zerfließende Textur, harmonischer, gereifter Gesamteindruck, leichtfüßig und charmant, mineralisch, rauchige Feuersteinnote im Nachhall. !
