91+ John Gilman - View from the Cellar

"The 2012 Türmchen” Spätlese is a very pretty wine, but it cannot quite keep pace with its 2011 counterpart. The wine offers up a bouquet of apple, white cherries, petrol, slate, bee pollen and a gently floral topnote of lilacs. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and youthful, with a fine core, good acids and a long, primary and promising finish. This is a very pretty wine that will need a good five years in the cellar to blossom and allow some of its secondary layers to emerge. 2018-2035."
