Medium light lemon yellow. Quite open and fruited at first with pear , quince , white flowers, then after a while slightly smoky , chalky , wet stones . On the palate this is strict and mineral , much more so than the nose indicates. Green apple , pear and quince , lemon peel. Quite refreshing , sharp acidity , good wet stone , grafite , green apple tinged finish. Young needs another few years and will last well another decade maybe longer . — 13 days ago

Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.

Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.

Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.

Lights out. Huge nose. Spice, caramel, nougat, minerals, so so special. Wow. Rich, energetic and textured palate with unreal flavor intensity. The best Mölsheim ever. — 2 years ago

Very nice. Has that great tension you always hope to see in Riesling. Quite a ripe nose. Great body and acid. Just that hint of sweetness, more a suggestion than a presence. — 15 days ago

The nose on this wine is magnificent, so beautifully funky and barnyardy, in the best of ways. On the palate, a true German Spatburgunder, lighter in color and mouth feel than a Burgundian Pinot Noir. I’m sure this will only get better with time. — 8 months ago

Wonderful. Bitter, acid, sea air, so nice. More later. After a day open this is strutting with oodles of finesse and acid. Really long and refreshing. Outstanding. — 2 years ago
