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. — 22 days ago

A genius Klingelberger. What a nose. So floral. Flower shop levels. Little shop of insane dry Riesling. Gorgeous Mosel like fruit. Smells ripe and sweet but also bone dry. Green apples. Pear. Apricot. So vivid and detailed. Just wonderful. Lime blossom, sweet lime. Endless aromas. Fresh field level 10. But also rock quarry. Staggering young Klingelberger aromas. Palate is epic like a Norwegian Viking documentary epic. Dense, structured, deep man is this deep with just stunning purity and freshness. So vivid and so detailed. This is god level balance. So long. Never ends. The purity of this wine is just incredible. Amazing finesse and elegance and screamingly mineral and very very complex on the finish. This is a staggering young Klingelberger. 9.7. Yup. Just genius. Amazing concentration and depth. Really I can’t get over how good this is. — 6 years 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 ;-) — a month ago

Astonishing how much acidity this has and how fresh it is. Unreal electricity from a so called low acid grape. Andreas Laible says this is a 25+ year wine. Insane structure. Unreal length. Superstar. Nose is pineapple, peach, some elegant VA but the palate is just insane. The quality is through the roof. It’s like 10% Rococo and 90% Laible. What a wine. — 2 months ago

2005 vintage. Courtesy of @Bill Bender Menthol, blueberry skins, tobacco in the nose. Medium-bodied. Elegant, chocolate chip ice cream finish. Holding up really nicely and would seem to have another half-decade in this phase of life. — 4 years ago

Man I love laible. Totally laible but has a hint of tropicality bc of the vintage. Maybe a bit more hedonistic and less cerebral than usual. Still has that acidity and minerality. What a terrific producer. Bought from fass selections. — 7 years ago

13.2%. A perpetual favorite. This vintage seems more fruit driven compared to previous renditions. Quite dark. Cherries, raspberries, cranberries and some tea notes, well integrated tannins and dare I say “smooth” mouthfeel. Sadly/unfortunately in a different prize range compared to a decade ago. 75$ or so. Seems high to me. — 2 months ago

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.

So strong and upfront is the nose that calling it a bouquet is an insult; as other notes here attest, hugely floral with all kinds of lime & cardamon accents. On palate quite broad yet detailed, a really interesting blend. — a year ago

Always such a stunning aroma. Herbal, vegetables, huge aromas and so precise. So juicy and what acidity. This is a stunning version. So juicy and so fresh. Linear and unreal clarity. What a brilliant version. — 4 years ago

Outrageous showing. Confectionary nose of sugar snap peas, sweet pink celery, herbs, some apricot and just awesome, forceful driving minerality. Palate is super elegant, super juicy and just so super delicious. Amazingly pure and balanced and so so clean. Slips, slides and glides on the palate. Exceptional minerality that is alive and super cleansing. Just on point. — 5 years ago

Lots of minerals on the nose. Petrol, some typical Riesling fruit and sweet perfume leading to an expectation of off dry. But it has a light body and is quite pleasantly dry and very lively. Sprightly. Medium finish. — 7 years ago

1997 vintage. Very special. Fragrant on the nose - stewed fruit, dried herbs - a bit like a pot pouri. Smooth in the mouth, not too tanic. Excellent — 7 years ago
