In describing this bottlings 2016 predecessor I led with the following, Even more effusively floral than its Frühtau counterpart, this offers iris, violets and lily-of-the-valley. That description holds as well for this 2017, where those characteristics also translate into musky, bittersweet inner-mouth perfumes. There are the lusciously juicy white peach and subtly green, clover-chomping counterpoint familiar from this years Frühtau, now in the context of enhanced textural refinement and buoyancy. Along with finishing salinity comes a complex, mouthwatering meaty-nutty-mineral savor akin to mussel stock. -- David Schildknecht
