Stunning. Nose is white peach, white cherries, apricot juice, caramel and more. So clean. So elegant. Palate is teeming with energy and sapidity. Juicy, rich and super clean. Terrific compact quality and dry foie gras like finish. Superb. Really juicy and dense. Intense and so engaging. Almost 9.5. — 24 days ago

Needed 30 minutes but what it really needed is 24 hours and it’s getting that. Will report back later. Ahh yeah. 24 hours later this is stunning. Elegant and aristocratic. The sheer class of this is so impressive. Nose has lime zest, vanilla extract, and palate has that 10% opulence hit that just soars into the jagged juicy edges of the finish. 9.5 to 9.7 overnight. Genius. — 5 months ago

Such a stark yet beautiful wine. Nose is ultra mineral and the palate is pure as a the most elite Icelandic glacial melt. Just gorgeous. Showing out of its mind. So round like 22 can be and for a high acid estate this vintage is tops at Molitor. — 9 months ago

Gold Capsule. I love Markus’ version of this and prefer it to JJ Prum as it’s more reserved and less opulent. Stunning yet subtle nose of green apple, pear and peach plus some apricot notes and vanilla extract. Unreal slate and mineral that is so fine and refined. Just a super perfumed nose. Palate has ridiculous energy and acidity with jaw dropping purity and intense acidity. Racy. Really racy. Palate has terrific peach and green apple fruit. Maybe a skoche honeyed but the mineral/acid spine is just incredible here. Light yet intense and built for the very long haul. Brilliant. Really elegant now with air. Amazing. — 2 years ago

Wow, medium yellow color, very nice floral apricot honeyed with just a hint of that petrol underneath, with a light lithe texture into a bit more acidic finish. 8% ABV. Must have aged well since last time, last one unfortunately — 6 months ago

Wow this has opened up. Nose is so 21 and super steely, citrus, floral and skeletal. Palate is luscious, juicy and nervy with gorgeous fleshy fruit and unreal density yet lightness. Awesome. So dense. Weight of a spatlese but nimble as a Kabinett. Lime zest on the nose now. Seashells. Chablis like. — a year ago

Just a monster. So dense and complex. Unreal density. I mean this is the densest Riesling I have had all year. Yet so fine. Unreal structure. This reminds me of Jadis 2012. Unreal. Unreal. The finish is a mineral blast to end all mineral blasts. — 7 months ago

9.1

Very nice spatlese. Very expressive on the nose, great acid and a lengthy mineral finish that sticks on the palate for a long while. Sweetness is well balanced. Perhaps lacks a bit of extra oomph but delicious. — 10 months ago

Nose: bright. Lovely. White and yellow flowers. Pink grapefruit.

Palate: on the sweet side. Nice peach. Solid. Mountain stream. Sort of lovely if not not brilliant.
