Crisp, fresh & tart on the nose with fresh cut hay, herby notes, (under)ripe lemons and a cold, steely very Rheingau core underneath.
On the palate this a fuller, riper mouthfeel, with a hint of creaminess and ripe fruit. Lemon curd, lemon sorbet, a hint of underripe mango, some white peach. A nice juicy, if not overly long, finish.
Nice drinking and has enough weight & structure but not the depth or precision you’d expect from GG level.
Edit: Day 2 with half a bottle left from yesterday. A nice waxy, lanolin character evolved. Seems more serious and complete. 0.1pts up — 3 years ago

Amazing Riesling from the year my fiancée was born. We had this with dessert at The French Laundry. — 8 years ago

Nase schon deutlich von Reifenoten geprägt, im Mund ein opulentes Frucht/Süße Spiel, als Dessertwein sicher noch ein langes Leben vor sich ; nach zwei Wochen steht der immer noch wie eine eins, für das was er sein soll klare Aufwertung — 4 years ago

Had a taste of this yummy late harvest Riesling today from Rheingau at work as a deductive tasing session. Candied nuts, petroleum, beeswax, dried grass on the nose but the palate is awesome - minerality, ripe apricot and apple cider with medium residual sugar and light acidity. The viscosity is really nice coating the mouth just enough to get the balance of sweet and sour taste. Thumbs up for the Old World Riesling Spatlese 👍. — 6 years ago

Landgraf von Hessen is now known as Prinz von Hessen, but the estate is the same. Bone-dry, sleek and saline, it cries out for smoked salmon or even a soft cheese. Drink now. It won't improve. #LandgrafvonHessen #PrinzvonHessen #1989 #Riesling #Kabinett — 9 years ago

Had the 2018 vintage - crisp and on the drier side yet with some fruity notes and not too mineral. — 5 years ago
