Bright, slightly clouded garnet red with high transparency. Spicy, in the beginning fine fruity scent of raspberry and cranberry. Currently in a difficult condition, because the new wood is quite dominant in its expression compared to the elegant, sweetish Pinot fruit. Unfortunately, even several hours of decanting will not change that much. During this time, however, the fruit is able to show itself to its best advantage again. However, the desired harmony is not quite achieved. Very good length.

Intense greenish golden yellow with bright reflections and pronounced “tears” on the glass wall. Slightly buttery and ethereal, citrus-accentuated nose with delicate coconut notes and some caraway in the background. Impressively straightforward, not shying away from acidity. With 12.5 % vol alcohol, not a heavyweight, but enormously expressive. Uncompromisingly dry tasting, shows depth. Vegetable and tart finish. Excellent length.

I had already tasted this amazing Silvaner several times in the past. Why amazing? Thommy Hörner's wine from his first own vintage initially developed as I expected from a good, ambitious dry Kabinett. In the best case scenario, it has a certain ageing potential. Tertiary aromas are part of maturity. And a wine deserves them after several years in the bottle. However, it seems as if the Silvaner has not changed since I last tasted it, as if it remains in its former status quo. I even have the slight impression that it seems more youthful than ever before. The lemon-yellow hues, which have now replaced the earlier shades of gray, now predominate in the eye. The bouquet shows slight lactic hints, hardly any tertiary aromas, but instead still a pronounced fruity component, a clearly focused scent of sugar melon. Not too opulent at 12.5 % vol alcohol. Good presence on the palate, ripe but at the same time invigorating, well-integrated acidity. Tastes very dry. Excellently balanced. Only in the long finish do subtle notes of ripeness reveal themselves, without any astringency.

Symbols
🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
