Holee shit. Best nose of the morning. Smells like a scene in nature. Holy moly. Honeyed apricots. So so insane. Minerals. Peach. So vivid, so precise, icing on a cake. Confectionery but also a scene in nature. Wow. Saffron? Smells sweet like but is bone dry. Juicy and pure, so fresh and so compact. Structured and dense. Crystalline purity. Compact. Stunning. Wow acid. Cheeks tingle and tongue does not tingle. Amazing freshness. This is superb and dense, but so nimble and elegant. The length is endless. This is as brilliant as anything I’ve ever had at fass selections. — 3 years ago

Birthday wine. No formal notes. Stunningly elegant and beautiful Auslese showing a bit of secondary but has 50+ more years and at least 20+ till it sings. Still a youngish Auslese of this quality is really fun to drink. — 7 years ago

9.6

Stunning nose. Just grips you. Huge ripeness. Stone fruits and apricots. Honey. Lychee. So clear and vivid though also has amazing refinement. Slate comes through after 10 minutes in the glass. But these will last for days and days. Lime flesh. Keeps opening and opening. Palate is stunning. So decadent and sappy but with great freshness from the intense minerality. So sappy and pure. Amazing mouthfeel here. Rich and opulent but also has just enough acidity to keep it together and then the minerality propels you across the finish line. This will improve with air. My score will go up.

After 4 hours this is a marvel and a stunner. Nose is more restrained and mineral. Palate has stunning treacly texture and such depth and finishes dry but with opulence. Stunning. But still a 9.6.

Karthäuser Riesling 2021

To be specific, this is the Laubenheimer Karthauser Riesling Trocken. Very exuberant nose. Loads of bright, ripe green apple fruit, a little fresh green herb (tarragon?), a yeasty note, and loads of slatey minerals. Very fruity on the palate, round textured, acids are quite soft. Not super complex but very fun. — 2 years ago

Dhroner Hofberger Riesling Spatlese 2003

A beautiful wine. Such a luscious texture with smells and flavors of rich tropical fruits and apricots. For $15 a bottle, this wine was an absolute steel! A classic example of how noble Mosel Rieslings are quite the bargain. — 7 years ago
