A mineral blizzard. Reductive, fresh and classy, smelling like a scene in nature. The finish blasts the palate with minerals. Utterly insane texture, purity and intensity, with juicy cranberry-like snap beneath the Chardonnay. One of the greatest Chardonnays I’ve tasted. — 4 days ago

The „Cat-hole Riesling“. I am a fan of Leitz. His prices for GG‘s are great. Herbaceous and tight needs time. Tart, sour apricot, lime. elderberry flowers focused and precise a classic Rheingau. A world class wine for a very reasonable price. And yes exotic that is just the way the Riesling grape is - I have a vine in my front yard. @ the Meritage in Encinitas. — 8 years ago

This was a very balaced wine in my opinion, good fruits and sweetness with an acid that balace up the sweetness very well — 11 years ago

Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion into the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again.

Nose of cold smoke, very herbal, maybe celery seed? Palate is very mineral, saline extreme.

A shockingly clean and dry Riesling with subtle skittles-like aroma. Significantly more enjoyable on day 2 (a decanter not available to me). I am far from an expert on this stuff but I would imagine some more years under the belt might help this yield more? Acid for days but not aggressive. Just tightly wound. A fascinating encounter. — 7 years ago

Fantastic! I am not a fan of sweet Riesling at all, but this bottle paired with pickled pear and fresh fruit blew my mind away. Absolutely crisp, fresh sweetness that balanced sour or flavorful food perfectly well. Absolutely in love! — 11 years ago
