"Extreme struck-match character. Herbal and fumy. I like reduction but this is extreme, especially on the palate. There's clearly attractive ripe citrus and tangy grapefruit underneath but the winemaking may just be a little too intrusive for some, though I guess it might change with aeration/bottle age, hence the pluses. Long and dramatic. (JH)"

"The 2022 Chardonnay was grown in the Goldberg, Honigberg and Eselspfad and fermented in barrique and tonneaux, with about 30% new wood. Cream, flint, lemon and chalk unite on the nose. The palate displays immense cohesion, as all these elements seem readily combined and perfectly aligned to flow. This flinty, crackling yet utterly soothing wine has verve and exquisite acidity, despite full malolactic fermentation. It expresses itself with such clarity and energy. (Bone-dry)"
