Jung, aber schon echt gut. Könnte noch gut 3 bis 5 Jahre auf der Flasche liegen und vlt dadurch in der Komplexität profitieren. — 4 years ago

Lieu-Dit Sandreben Riesling 2018
Nice surprise of a biodynamic (5 years, family owned since 1802!) vineyard, sister of the sibling pair (brother the wine side) hosting tasting at Strasberg shop specializing in independent vignerons. Tasted orange wine from Guwurztraminer (!), excellent, Pinot Noir (very nice and elevated in tone), and a Klevener de Heiligenstein (Savignan Rose in Loire) which is totally new to me and a very tasty wine that seemed like a marriage of Savivgnan and Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley. This Riesling though is truly surprisingly terrific, blasts of petrol and stone fruits that lingers, encouraging one to skip the sip. On palate it’s acidic and full yet with unctuous notes that I’d not experienced from their German cousins. Long evolving finish. Tasted with Margaret G (she recoiled at first from that petrol), bought one and opened at last boat dinner, excellent with appetizers and salmon trout entrée and even did fine with the Turkey roulette. Left reminder (120ml?) in bottle and next day was fine! Poured into small plastic water bottle with obvious air gap and it was still OK for next two days. So this fella can age for sure. I’m guessing at five years old it just entered teenage with still some baby fat but taking on big muscles, of course it’d be nice to try the younger vintages. Lady was not fluent in English and could only say these grapes were grown on sandy soil. Limited distribution in CA and Chicago. Nice accidental find. Most wines in store were unknown to me and the prices were all reasonable or better from the US perspective. Sigh! — a year ago

Maikammer Kapellenberg Weissburgunder 2018
Hoch bewertet, weil sehr fein und nuanciert im Fruchtbild und im Abgang. Dank Schraubverschluss noch sehr jung wirkend. Was bei der Bewertung auch mitspielt: seit 97 regelmäßig geordert und ganz selten nicht die Erwartungen erfüllt worden. — 4 years ago

Klosterberg Trocken Riesling 2018
Green apples and shy apricots on the nose, with a whiff of white pepper. On the palate however this is not shy at all. Racy, steely lemon acidity with good weight and electric tension. This is unmistakably Rheingau in all its beauty. A lovely wine and drinking very nicely already now. — 5 years ago

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep purple/ inky in color with a short purple rim.
Strong nose of black fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice, light earth, herbs, spices, tobacco, chocolates, mocha, light perfume, cola and peppercorn.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity, with black plums, black currants, blackberries, dark chocolates, coffee, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, light earth, herbs, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is already very approachable and good right out of the bottle. Nicely balanced with a beautiful nose.
Complex and fruit forward. Rich and extracted. Elegant with a nice mouthfeel.
Better after a couple of hours of airtime, when more earth notes show up to compliment the fruits.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is very consistent. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A good wine to pair with a big piece of steak, but also a nice sipping wine.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
