An experiment. Served with grilled marinated halibut. Worked pretty well. — 6 years ago
Trocken version. Acid is at the fore, but well evolved and delightful with many years to go. — 6 years ago
Nose is herbal and gorgeous with huge minerality. Lovely sugar snap peas, some C.K. Some confectionary aromas and just a beguiling whirlwind of so many non fruit aromas it’s hard to pinpoint them. A feral element as well but is so clean, so pure. It smells like the cleanest nature scene you can imagine. Yes it smells like a Bob Ross painting. Juicy and very complex with just a waterfall washing feeling across the palate. The balance of the fruit, minerals, acid and texture is extraordinary. Such delineation and grace. Stunning wine. — 8 years ago

Smells like a Riesling, honey and citrus, sweetness that isn't overpowering and is balanced by some minerality. Perfect pairing for spicy food! — 10 months ago
Honey, peaches, kind of like a complex fruit cup syrup mixed with pure gold. These wines are always so sensual. — 6 years ago

Now in a line up with Rebholz 15‘s and Schäfer Fröhlich 16’s this guy struggles. It needs some age and is currently in it’s dumb phase. More linear and less fruit than last time when I tried the wine. Elegant steely and light. Lime wintergreen and chalk. — 8 years ago
Golden yellow, on the nose lemongrass, Kaffir lime, limestone with a hint of effervescent. Medium++ dry with a great floral taste. Remarkable vale for such Riesling — 5 years ago
Trying to make up for not making it to the kafer tent this year. Drinking with wiesnhendl tonight. @Christian W. Liedtke — 8 years ago
This changed a few times over the course of 90 minutes. Eventually resulting in a very delicately perfumed wine with lime, white flowers, nectarine, and petrol. Medium acidity. Lighter texture on the palate. Great value, $65 on list — 8 years ago
Apple, crisp, and clean.

My experience w Becker Riesling is they demand patience, air, & time. As a ‘22 & the lower end of the price spectrum ( for Becker- abt 23$) , this bottling felt as closed as a clam but peeking through were dry notes of salt taffy, hearts of palm, white pith fruits, & a saline nature to the whole affair. Decant the hell out of it or revisit in 3-4 years. — 6 months ago
