Excellent Pinot Blanc, one of the best I tasted. It is very complex, herby, bready, with dry fruits and honey, it is similar to Grand Cru Pinot Blancs from Alsace. It is pity I do not have more bottles, it would be be very interesting to compare it to Andreas Bender tasted in June 2013, which was also fantastic and which I have two more bottles in my cellar:-)
