Not usually a white wine fan but the fizziness and citrus funk reminded me almost of a very natural cider. Bought after a wine tasting at local store. — 16 days ago

Super mineral nose. Wow. Deep and finely etched minerals. No fruit. Salty. Apricot, peach and white cherry. Honey? Complexity. Unbelievable finesse and crazy acidity and superb minerality. Really long finish. Tons of complexity and a GG like character. Inner mouth aromas. Salty and harmonious. Lovely. Stunning. What a value here. Superb baby GG. — 4 years ago

Another great vintage of a very overlooked Gutedel. Nose is superb. Lots of complex minerality. Herbs and subtle spice. Lanolin and a wonderful windy airiness. So pretty. Reminds me of a lean Jacquere from Savoie. Just killer. Smells like a scene in nature. Standing on a clearing in a forest overlooking a beach with the wind blowing the detritus. What a wonderful smell. Some peach skin if you really are looking for fruit. Chasselas in general has no fruit to speak of. Palate is wonderful. Big time structure and density with intense minerality and sap. Very fresh, very pure, with such a nice core of minerals. Like liquid rocks. Some herbs and some sort of umami flavor. This is so clean and so pure. Long finish. Like way longer than it should be. Easily best Gut&Edel I’ve had from Max. What a wine and what a finish. A true sum of its parts wine.

Acid gets more metal as this airs. Nose becomes more floral and also herbal. Truly wow. Almost a 9.5. So intense and tangy. Some intense high acid grapefruit confectionary goodness! — 4 years ago

Just a brilliant, cerebral Riesling. Nose has some funk, lemon, lime, slate, lemon pith, lemon flesh and juicy lime. So piercingly mineral. The palate is just stunning. So gorgeous and pure. Really young out of the gates. Like biting into a lemon. Awesome acidity and freshness but very very young and closed. Air does wonders here. Wonderful but man does this need air. Now, 24 hours later we have gotten air. Boy is this stunning. The nose finally had that slate/porphyry minerality in spades. Dense and elegant with a fiercely mineral finish. Chewy. Structure for days! — 2 months ago

Needs a 30 minute decant.

Nose: exquisite yellow flowers. Elenant richness. Lemon oil. But so precise and dense. Utterly insane.

Palate. Immediate mineral hit. Almost spicy. Elegantly rich. Really good. Long. Dense. Wall of flavor. Lemon peel. Utter magic on the palate.

Internal aromatics are INSANE. Just perfection.

Pretty wine, tons of flowers, honey, dried apricot, tropical flavors. Waaaaayyy better as it warms and opens. Very complex. Not worth the cost though. I’d gladly buy this again at like 40-50 dollars. — 3 years ago

Reductive and a bit closed with a herby, a touch bitte note. Juicy, racy acidity with underripe lemon. Yet there’s some darker character - not the flowery light type. Quite some weight & power. Yet not so much charm.

Super complex nose. Layered and confectionery. Matchstick. Intense minerality. Powerful and elegant. The minerality. Jagged, rocky minerality. Concentrated. Attack is powerful and the finish is so refined. Wonderful purity. Long and detailed. Chewy and concentrated. Very dry. Such finesse. Trucker in a tutu. Wow. Super pure. What a finish. This is genius. This has the finesse and elegance of the top wines of Germany. — 4 years ago

From two estate vineyards, aromas of fruit and floral spice, fermented in 600-liter casks. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, pear and nutty floral notes. Medium finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit and toasty spice. — 4 years ago

They let me have a light box shot! Woot!

Baby Kupfergrube GG here. What a nose. Wow. Just sickness. 9.4 off the bat. Confectionary. Creamy. Peach. Rainer cherries. So clear and refined. Very expansive and airy. Peach fuzz. Barely ripe peach skin and pith. Just a terrific nose. Palate is so elegant and fine. Just as mineral as the Vom Schiefer but it caresses rather than bludgeons. Really classic, refined and again, that gut H intense, refined and complex minerality. Really mouthfilling and a lovely intense mineral roundness. Structured and intense. Very long and finishes super saline and salty. — 5 years ago
