High-toned scents of flowers and green herbs – wisteria, mint and pennyroyal prominent among them – practically poke you in the nose. A veritable wave of seawater on the polished palate serves for saliva-inducement, mint exercises a cooling influence, and cress, sage, black pepper and stone supply incisive, palate-staining, invigorating counterpoint. The long finish offers vibrant, juicy, mouthwatering interaction of the aforementioned elements. Any oak influence is entirely discreet, or perhaps I should say it’s completely submerged beneath this wine’s riot of grape, soil and fermentative flavors. Long-time readers of my reports will know that I am a stalwart champion of Pechstein as underappreciated vis-à-vis Jesuitengarten and Kirchenstück – so take that as a warning to factor in when interpreting my tasting note, or take this wine as delicious confirmation of my high opinion of the site where it grew.
