Rheinhessen
Winzerhof Thörle
Spätburgunder 2020
2020 vintage. Quiet, unassuming and sexy. Checks off plenty of boxes but doesn't make you want to convert all the stocks into gold just yet. Medium body. Drinks coolish with blue and dark fruits. Going places but you won't be around to see it or will be too dense to realize it. Stealthy. Ninja-styled. Assassin. 5.15.24. — 6 days ago

Marto Weiss 2022
Really lovely. Great flavor. Tropical smoothie on the beach meets stone fruit and a tea party. Definite funk but blew off after 30 minutes of air. Sour peaches, earl grey tea with pineapple and passion fruit. More underripe stone fruit. Lingers on the palate bringing you back for more. — 3 days ago
Wittmann
Kirchspiel Großes Gewächs Riesling 2015
A touch of talc on the nose - a note of pineapple juice, peach and slatey mineral. German dry Riesling like this one can still be reasonably sweet. An excellent Riesling as you would expect for a GG but top quality Australian Riesling from the Clare or Eden Valleys represent better value for money IMO. — 18 days ago
Not the big names anymore, but if you travel here and there in Germany or Austria you can still get fantastic deals.

Nose is all mid season red cherries, cherry flower and so so pure. Mulberry, cranberry bog and so much more. Lipstick like intensity and just so focused and clear. Insane nose. Unreal limestone and depth but also it’s like it’s vibrating on its own plain. Wow what a palate. Juicy and structured with just silly good cherry fruit of the early to mid season style and unreal clarity, focus and linearity. Unreal concentration and depth. So stunning and like a squeegee on the palate. Now some violets on the nose and unreal concentration and sorry but light and ethereal. Stunning beyond belief.After air it gets more supple and textured. All red fruit on the palate. — 2 days ago
