Such a serious Scheuerbe. Gorgeous nose. Wild herbs, sweet lime, sage, blackcurrants. High toned and so wild. Aromas in neon lights. Palate is slamming. Concentrated, elegant and densely structured but oh so nimble and super pure. Unreal class and finesse. So stunning and what a finish. Savory and alive. Cannot wait to see what air does. — 5 days ago

Very good. But at 160€ from the winery ex cellar when I was “vor Ort” (there) seriously expensive. Like a top shelf GC white burgundy. — 4 days ago

German Syrah from Ziereisen so good. What the f. Why did I just buy 3 bottles? Scott will try the second one with you. Ultra elegant. 12.5%. Blueberry, cherry and spice? Amazing as this opens up. Next time might get a case. — a month ago

Light in color with a brown twinge. Quite perfumed. Sweet Pinot fruit. Better than their IDA Buntsandstein at this point in it’s evolution. Orange zest, strawberry, cranberry. Quite tart and kind of oaky. For some reason all the big boys of the 20‘ vintage do not come across as a top vintage for E & M. Good but they just don’t reach the heights of other vintage’s. — 4 days ago

Sanfte aromatik nach südfrüchten, quitte, reifer pfirsich. Homogene mineralik, mittlere säure….angenehm, süffig. Ein ungewöhnlicher riesling mit eigenem charakter. Vermutlich weil er aus Durbach ist ;-) — 10 days ago

CVed them to Fung and it’s still that steely yet elegantly austere style that grows on you — 2 months ago

Wine tasting at Ziereisen. In Baden Effringen-Kirchen. Without doubt one of the top 10 winemakers in all of Germany and perhaps in the top 100 in the world. Went through all of his portfolio. This entry level Chasselat aka Gutedel was lemon driven mostly. Fantastic intro to the grape. And relatively inexpensive. — 4 days ago

Light in color. Very herbal. Otherwise quite close in the taste profile to the Buntsandstein of the same vintage. There is some cherry here, hint orange zest. Sweet Pinot fruit. Touch bitter. Again like the other E&M big boys. Not fully convinced. — 4 days ago

9.5

Needs an hour of air. Becomes magnificent at that point.

N: white flowers and lemon floor wax. A hint of Passion fruit with air.

P: sweet lemon. Hint of apricot. Mineral. Laible brightness. Not as mineral as the Klingelberger. Very good density. Amazing deliciousness. Long. A great drink.
