Achat Riesling 2014

Not quite over the hill, but I’m afraid that this bottle is reaching the tail end of its drinking window. The color has become light amber, and there are definitely some nutty notes. That said, still a lovely fresh glass of Riesling.  — a month ago

I drink his wines within 3 years or so. They are just to tasty to last. But next time when at the winery i might quiz him about back vintages.

May be oxidation? Weird.

@Pinotman /// Andreas definitely not fully oxidized, but seems like it’s just beginning to do so. I still have one more bottle of this wine so let’s see how that one is…

Am Buhl Riesling 2020

Frankly quite amazing. 12.5%. Tasted first at the winery in Durbach - Baden and then 2 days later a second bottle at a friends home. One of the best Rieslings money can buy. Mandarine, peach, hint bitter, orange blossoms - so long. Great minerality provided by the decomposed granite this area is known for. Traditionally made. This area is unique as Riesling is a unicorn in Baden which is dominated by Pinot. Obviously opened way to early but hard to resist. More big and round like the Pfalz Rieslings and not steely and sharp like the Mosel or Nahe. — 2 years ago

Mindboggling Scheurebe!! Nose of herbal elements like sage and lavender over grapefruit and passion fruit. Wow. So wafting. Palate is complex and chewy with stunning balance and purity. It’s so well woven and integrated. Wow. Long and complex finish keeps pushing. — 6 years ago

Durbacher Plauelrain Spätlese Trocken Scheurebe 2020

Like a soapy tropical little German Pils from Scheurebe. Grapefruit scented mosaic hops and dank marijuana crystals. Hints of mango and papaya floating in the periphery. A body with some girth and buttercream to yang the ying of acid you couldn't complain about not even for a second. — 2 years ago

Electric! Wow what acid. Insane purity. Floral like nothing else. Kumquat, white flowers, tree bark, crushed rocks, mulch, lime zest, candied lemons, so complex, it’s crazy. Huge acid, huge depth, huge minerals, huge extract, so elegant, confectionary, pure, clean. So so so so good. Perfect, fruit, mineral, everything. — 4 years ago

What a value. Huge nose or fresh sprigs of herbs, huge minerals and fresh spring water. Amazingly clean. Even floral as well. Dense and chewy with wonderful purity and balance. Compact and so clean. Really this is totally over-delivering. Stunningly clean. Long. Did I say this was clean? — 5 years ago
