Haven’t had in 2 years and wow it’s in the zone. Soaring nose of lemon peel, candied lemons, minerals, herbs and grapefruit. Stunning depth and purity to the aromas. Super juicy and candied lemon/lime palate and wonderful confectionery vibe as well. Superb purity and cleanliness. Awesome depth and great acids. Great inner mouth aromas and awesome mineral concentration. Super clean and structured. Drinking so well now but has a long life ahead of it. Lovely nectarine and juicy pink grapefruit on the finish. Wonderful and mouthwatering. Coming alive with air. So many confectionary aromas. Just stunning. — 5 days ago

Pale lemon with aromas of stone, tropical fruits with citrus and floral mineral notes. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of grapefruit, pineapple and melon with lemon citrus wrapped in lively acidity, medium length ending with fruit and lemon citrus texture. — 8 days ago

Love this crisp bouquet, a cold night, still. The stars pristine sharp dots draping the sky. Mineral driven. Apples.

Bracing. Sharp. Energetic acidity with legs, carrying a savory quality through the mid.

Zip and chew. Something to sip and think. — 2 months ago

-Rugged Riesling-

DAY 1
Served with the Vinloq System
👀Dark yellow golden honey. Unfiltered
👃Sour citrus, wax, savory herbs with tea & mint
👅Honeyed, candied stone fruit. Ripe apples. Very herbal with pronounced acidity. Salty. The finish is dry, long, & delicious
So interesting. So expressive. Superb clarity. Singular flavor profile likely due to botrytis and long elevage. Just…wow

The remaining wine was Slow Decanted with Vinloq & refrigeration

Sampled this on 2 more occasions

DAY 15
👃Bold, distinctive & precise
👅Probably would not guess riesling in a blind tasting. Tea, cognac & sherry all make appearances. Bruised/ripe apple is only perceived sweetness
Virtually unchanged in 15 days. Feels very sturdy. Probably would be an interesting wine to cellar.

Jakob Tennstedt is a new winemaker in the Mosel. He biodynamically farms 50-100 year old vines he restored on steep blue slate terraces. This wine was so laborius to make that he will not do it again. I am glad I was able to try it this time and it gives me motivation to try his other wines🥂

Nose is elegant petrol. Mineral. A hint of nectarine. Really pretty.

Palate is white nectarine. But really more about the silky elegance. Just a perception about this. Almost classic mosellian wine but with elegant nahe tropicality.

Good acid, unfiltered Pinot Noir goodness. Tart red cherry flavors and a good layer of mild seed and skin tannins. Decant for 30 minutes ideally. Great with food, esp. duck, chicken and fish — 8 days ago
