A delightful, balanced Riesling with two decades of age. Sweet perfume of stone fruits and flowers, with a hint of sought after petrol. Amazing that such an age-worthy white is so reasonably priced. 10.5% ABV. Enjoyed the 2006 vintage with a lovely Chicken Francese from Vittorio’s in Pacific Palisades. — 5 months ago
Vintage 2020 | First day of spring. Intanticide perhaps, but jolly good now. Palle yellow. Smell with pear and Guadeloupe melon. Schist. Powerfull balanced taste with high bitters and blood orange zeste. Lovely wine, says the wife. Happy wife, happy life! Paired with chicocery with ham and vacherin mont d’or cheese from the oven and topped with spring onion and truffle. Find it and put some bottles in your cellar. — a year ago
A wine full of pear, apple, elderflower and peach flavors in a real round, intense mouthfeel. A nice dry taste with the presence of slate and creaminess — 4 years ago
This wine shows bright, crunchy freshness with notes of alpine cough drops, fresh green herbs, and a touch of petrol. The palate is taut and mineral-driven, layered with lime zest and green apple, grapefruits. A saline, slatey undercurrent adds depth and tension, leading to a clean, mouthwatering finish. A precise and expressive Mosel Riesling with real energy and character. — 8 months ago

At nearly 35 years old, still bright. Apricot and beeswax. A wonderful Spatlese. March 2023. — 3 years ago
Beautiful Dry Riesling, underrated here. A symphony of fruit flavors to start, followed by a crisp acidity. Great minerality in the attack, with pineapple and citrus, especially grapefruit. Just a great wine. — 4 years ago
1997 vintage. Last tasted 9.4.25 (9.2). This time, tasted with @Pinotman /// Andreas. Nice fill and good cork (no Durand needed). Light-medium body. 12% ABV. Some lighter, barely-sweet petrol flavor but limoncello impressions started to take the stage and sing like the headliner. Really intriguing and fascinating as a “dry” Auslese. Should be able to perform at this clip for another 4-5 years. No April Fools joke here. 5 bottles left at $80 a pop. 4.1.26. — 3 months ago


epic. pristine condition and just a beautiful wine. paired with scallops over linguine in garlic & lemon sauce. — 4 years ago
Deep golden colour.
Rich, intense and off-dry (APnr 21-09; so it’s not the GG-bottling from this plot).
Mature, warm, glowing and inviting notes of honeysuckle, yellow curry-spice, white raisins, old foudres, peche melba, marzipan and some musky, hay-like outdoor aromas Drink now, as it won’t improve. — 5 years ago
