Huge aromas of bee pollen, wild flowers, lemon and lime pith, airy sea air, sultana, and some slate. Fruit is melon, cantaloupe and more. Unreal nose. Palate has just so much energy and an enraging sweetness from ripeness and a skoche of sugar. Extraordinary raciness and concentration and an almost tannic density. So clean and wispy but there is major structure here. Needs air but my god is this delicious. With 5 hours of air this has gotten so elegant and nimble. Just stunning. — 7 months ago

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. — 4 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

Rubber ball sheds its shackles, opening into tropical vibes - passion fruit and guava. Great stuff. — 2 months ago

Insane concentration for a Mosel wine. Has all the slate minerality, complex white and yellow florals, tropical fruit ie guava pineapple; has the signature Steinmetz searing acidity (in a good way) but with a density similar to a Pflaz GG. Spectacular. This is a top wine. @Lyle Fass — 8 months ago

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. — 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. — 9 years ago

Honeyed peaches, apricots, warm brioche bread with honeycomb and petrol. Loads of flowers..camomile and geranium, honeysuckle and iris all shine through. The residual sugar is there and that's undeniable and expected, but the acid comes through and coats everything making a balanced, beautiful finish. 2001 vintage that still shows plenty of youth! — 10 years ago

Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg auslese long gold capsule 2004, VDP auction. With peppers stuffed 3 ways: trout mousse, foie gras, and Gorgonzola. A match for all three. The wine had enough botrytis to be beerenauslase--light and deep at the same time like the food. Great job in the kitchen, Gary! — 11 years ago
