Beautiful dry Riesling. Very well balanced - spicy, saline, mineral and lots of great citrusfruit notes. Made in a clean, contemporary, rounded style.
Gorgeous. — 2 months ago

Trocken Chardonnay 2014

9.5

Sunday chill chardonnay *** from Knipser, Germany. They only make a couple of hundred bottles, once every few years when the vintage permits

Intense, bright golden color, the wine sticks to the inside of the glass.

Nose has citrus and orange peels, my son smelled autumn leaves.

Palate gives citrus fruit, white stones and a nice round mouthfeel and creamy texture.

Finsh is long and an extension of the palate.

Kirschgarten Großes Gewächs Spätburgunder 2018

Jakub Kalinowski

9.4

Dark & brooding, with great depth & purity of fruit and dark spices in the background. Sour cherries, dark sweet cherries, a whiff of huckleberry.
Tightly wound on the palate with fine, grippy, juicy tannins and brilliant cherry acidity. This has presence & focused complexity yet remains very elegant.
This is a stunning, profound wine.
(The fact you can get a small bottle for 9€ on board of a Lufthansa flight is today’s surprise of the century!) — 2 months ago

That is a surprise! This is an absolute top Winery famous for Pinot no one knows in the US. And the cherriegarden - Kirschgarten is their top Vineyard. Haven’t been there in Ages. You are lucky - Kudos to Lufthansa too.

I live Knipser’s top wines, but find his Ortsweine a bit bland, chunky and lacking the depth of his GGs or the elegance of the Ahr or Kaiserstuhl.
His Kirschgarten from the great 2018 is sublime!
