Insane concentration for a Mosel wine. Has all the slate minerality, complex white and yellow florals, tropical fruit ie guava pineapple; has the signature Steinmetz searing acidity (in a good way) but with a density similar to a Pflaz GG. Spectacular. This is a top wine. @Lyle Fass — 6 days ago

Fantastic, intense nose of dark fruit, granite, iron, meat with an insane floral lift of dried apricot which I’m assuming is the viognier. Palate with good acid, typical northern Rhone Syrah profile of meat, lavender, granitic bite. A lot going on; tannins are not that evident after a 1.5 hr decant. A wine with a ton of character. @Lyle Fass @Delectable Wine this is cote-rotie “gerine” — 23 days ago

My first of the 2023’s. Really spectacular. Pours a medium yellow with some viscosity. On the nose such purity. Lemon pith, white flowers, mixed citrus, high toned and pure, the palate is silky like crème brûlée but with a lightness; beautiful oak framing. I think I’m a Brissett junky. The winemaking highlights everything I love about Chardonnay. @Lyle Fass — 7 days ago

This wine is in one word, intoxicating. Fantastic nose of brambles, fresh blackberry, red currant, lavender, grilled beef, wood smoke, freshly cracked black pepper. Palate with tight tannins, med + acidity, fresh and tart blackberry, blueberry, sauvage. Spectacular value at 22 usd. Needs 5 years, but this is why I drink wine. @Lyle Fass — a month ago

Nice petrol on the nose; citrus fruits on the palate; obviously some Riesling in there. Sampling for thanksgiving — a month ago

Wow. On the nose, high intensity of aromas. Raspberry, cherry, black tea. Lots of florals. Dried roses, dried violets, peonies. Then the earth creeps in. Fall leaves, mushrooms. In the first 30 min there was a licorice component. This disappeared. On the palate, it is similar to the nose. High acidity, great length for humble origins. Really a fantastic bottle, expertly crafted. @Lyle Fass — 20 days ago

Nice range of citrus on the nose and palate, good concentration and acidity. Meyer lemon shows through in particular. The winner for the upcoming Thanksgiving white selection. Will serve with the Thorle spatburgunder gutswein — a month ago
