Beast mode, this is always over the top and grandiose and wears it well in 2007 just at the limit of ripeness being too ripe. — 4 years ago

Light to med/light limpid purple... actually looks more like Pinot or Gamay in the glass. Light aromas of raspberry, tart cherry, slight metallic, and forest- floor. I like the weight, the lifted savory dryness, the lightness of the wine as it glides over the palate. Not a hint of sweet, of Jam, or over-ripeness. It caresses food, but might otherwise commit the unpardonable sin of falling into “good” rather than something more grandiose... but tonight, with good pizza and watching Biden’s speech... “good” is more than acceptable. — 5 years ago

First ever young wine from this terrific and overlooked site. Stunning nose. Huge slate and florals. Green apples galore. Incredibly fragrant. Wow. Lemon. But much more intense lime and lime rock candy. Confectionary and so so good. Huge palate with tons of dry extract and rocks. Terrific inner mouth aromas, with grandiose depth and awesome sap and structure. Sweet but also finishes somewhat salty. Terrific rock candy impression on the palate. Balanced and so so pure. Such a baby but just superb. As this opens up it gains tremendous elegance and refinement and the finish gets even more slatey. — 6 years ago

Nose is a bit mute at first. Floral. Stunning. Very pure. Excellent and complex and almost like a Viognier from Montrachet nose. It’s so grandiose and yet so retrained. Aromas. Are. Ridiculous. Tropical yet also mineral. Wow. Concentrated and so deep. Amazing textures and the salty mineral finish is a total wow. A wine of unique structure and flavor intensity. Stunning. Sappy. Spicey. It has it all. — 8 years ago

Gloriously rich and juicy. The grandiose quality of Hermitage on full display. Nose is all yellow fruits and palate is so elegant, juicy and fresh. Remarkable finesse and grand cru grip and structure. Outstanding. — 2 years ago

Been a few years. Nose starts out reticent but then quickly gets olivey, gamey and full of granite and dark blackberries. Also some dark red berries. Very intense and grandiose as Hermitage should be. Nose gets more floral and mineral with air. Really pretty after 10 minutes. Palate is juicy, elegant and super pure. Wow. Shows the lushness of 15 and the finesse of Luyton and of Hermitage. 15 is such an amazing vintage and it’s aging wonderfully. Awesome fruit and freshness and a brilliant hit of opulence on the finish and mid. Wow. What a showing. Really delicate and elegant. Like top level. — 4 years ago

Takes time to open but does to a clearly right bank style, some dark fruit, violets and some oak but without excess, the palate is dense and rich without any heavyness, nice volume with tannins that still show some power but qith such a nice silky texture, very Pomerol in stulw. It is a very good bottle without being grand.

Prend du temps à se livrer mais s’ouvre sur un style clairement rive droite. Des notes de fruits noirs, de la violette aussi, une touche de bois bien dosée, la bouche est dense et riche sans être lourde, un beau volume, des tannins puissants mais qui ont cette belle texture veloutée. C’est très bon voire plus sans être grandiose par contre. 92-93 — 5 years ago

In the presence of the 17' Schönleber AdL, there should not have been another riesling that outclassed it during the night... But then this appeared. Young as it may be, KP's Hipping approaches perfection. Dumbfounding!

I think Jean and David at MFW described this perfectly, so I'll just leave it here:

This 2017er Niersteiner Hipping GG delivers a beautiful nose where reductive elements including minty herbs, smoke, bacon and needle provide the frame for some glorious scents of grapefruit, tangerine, candied lime, fresh almond and coconut. The wine has the purity and lightness of mountain water yet its complexity and density on the mid-palate are just stunning. One can feel the intensity from the high levels of dry extracts but these are magnificently wrapped into spicy and salty elements. The length and impact in the finish are stunning. The after-taste seems to last for minutes. The wine is almost painfully dry at this stage, but the sheer freshness, intensity and complexity are simply breathtaking. This grandiose expression of dry Riesling may well turn into wine perfection in a decade: It is THAT impressive! — 7 years ago

Lenaste jordgubbssaft med hallonstick och plommonsötma. En utebliven andra jäsning på flaska har lämnat efter sig en smarrig restsötma. Hög syra som maskerar alkoholen fint. — 8 years ago

Superb nose of mineral, lemon zest, pink grapefruit and wonderful lime flesh and zest. Gorgeous mineral depth here. Lots of earth as well. Almost a Burgundian interpretation of Sancerre. Juicy and insanely complex palate that is finesse driven and so delicate. Wonderful sap and has a grandiose quality to it and finish that does not quit. Hugely concentrated but never heavy and a gamey/savory element on the palate. So sappy and pure. Round like Keller can be. Just a gorgeous bottle. Blown Away. Will last 10-15 more years. — 4 years ago

9.8

Un vin mythique, extrèmement complexe, long en bouche et avec une texture crémeuse. Du jamais vu pour ma part avec un vin sec rouge comme celui-ci. Une concentration inégalable, des tannins puissant tout en restant agréable. Dégusté en 2015, pouvant viellir encore un minimum de 20 ans. Un vin grandiose, probablement le meilleur j’ai eu la chance d’essayer. — 7 years ago

Wine estate : Clos de Tsampéhro
Designation : Valais
Name : Blanc
Country : Switzerland
Vivino : 5/5
Note : What a discovery! A double grape variety between Rèze and Heida. This wine deserves all its attention especially for connoisseurs. A yellow robe that will remind us that of a Jurassian yellow wine. Its very aromatic nose with flavors of spices, exotic citrus. On the palate, a length of flavors with a grand finale. Notes of white flowers, woody, fresh. A nectar to taste!
