Diesel/petrol aromas up front, then intensely mineral and somewhat fat/ripe for an Alsatian Grand Cru Riesling on the palate, lovely depth and complexity, just missing a little more acidity which I’d prefer, but clearly too young to drink now, long finish, 13.5% ABV. — 2 months ago

9.1

Pale lemon in color.

Strong nose of apples, lemons, limes, minerals and light diesel notes.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with a touch of RS to balance it out. Showing citrus, apples, pears, light earth, light diesel, limes, light grapefruits herbs and sea salt.

Tangy finish with limes and herbs.

This 4 year old Riesling from Spring Mountain is starting to drink nicely now, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Spicy and entertaining.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and so far the 2018 vintage is my favorite one.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Crisp and better when not too cold.

13.2% alcohol by volume.

Intoxicating mineral nose of diesel, smoke, rocks, incense and seaweed.
After an hour, mature fruit notes emerge.
Fabulous...

As a 2014, which came with a little bit of worry this was solid. Had cherry notes at first then blossomed into a bold, diesel with fruit wine. Awesome stuff. — 3 years ago

So expressive from this tiny 8% intro from Fritz Haag. Strong diesel, smoke, pencil shavings, honeyed tangerine, green aloe, and white flowers. Weighty texture and zippy flashy acid. — 8 years ago

This is your #riesling if you’re not a fan of the petrol / diesel notes, once this has had a chance to breathe a bit. While I don’t mind those, this is a nice alternative terroir expression - subtle floral and peach notes on nose. @Kurt Schuster is spot on with the crystalline descriptor. The palate is more about the luscious fruit texture backed by sturdy acidity and a touch of RS rather than a lot of complexity. Where else can you get #grandcru #alsaceriesling other than #costco for ~$18? — 3 years ago

Incredible diesel nose with florals and apricots. Lovely golden colour. Balanced on the palate, a little on the sweeter side of dry but balanced and good acidity at the finish — 5 years ago

The nose and palate are pretty much identical. Stone fruit, slight diesel, juicy, with a honeyed aspect. — 7 years ago
