Vintage 1976 | Kinheimer Rosenberg. Alfred and Rolf Merkelbach were greatly appreciated by winefriend Eric. And vice versa, for sure. Because the mythical brothers considered their Rieslings as their ‘children’ that are hard to say goodbye to. But Eric could buy this 49 y old Riesling with deep mahony colour, a ‘Halleluja’ apricot smell and awesome balance. Heavenly nectar. A treat. — 7 months ago

Interesting to observe how the style of this flagship cuvée has shifted over the years, dialing back the oak, picking earlier, focusing on purity and sense of place.
Dark & slightly brooding on the nose with plum & hint of black cure leaf, freshly turned earth. A tiny pinch of spices, the wood not evident at all. Fresh & pure.
On the palate this is so juicy, medium tannin with just a tiny bite, filled with fresh damson plums and a hint of black currant. Juicy acidity, and nice length with an earthy finish. 14% alc, as in prev vintages, but this time unnoticeable. Nice depth and purity here.
This is a lovely wine, with juicy fruit and a savoury edge. Brilliant food companion.
Delish!

Connecting with the brothers. 9.5% Kabinett drove me to the cheese plate, and to fill my red cup generously. — 8 months ago

OK, opened one of these maybe one month ago or so, and it clearly had a compromised cork. I had purchased a box on release on a recommendation of a winemaker friend who was also the owner of my then-wine storage facility in Napa, IIRC the case cost maybe $120-135 or so. That compromised bottle was first one opened, but I had a gut feeling from tasting that prior bottle that another bottle with good cork would be rocking, and this one is, color suggests age, but super fresh, just off-dry fruit (so will pair beautifully with some tiramisu my wife made), great acidity and cut, lovely aged Mosel Riesling (a Terry Thiese Selection)!! — 3 months ago

Outrageous showing. So precise, elegant, dense and lean, yet with the perfect hit of fleshiness. So clean, like rainwater. Nose is so airy, mineral and nutty. This wine is teeming with energy and such nice richness to offset it. A delight. Amazing texture and mouthfeel. Just brilliant. — 4 months ago
