Wow... super into this glou glou wine. Very cherry, super tart, strawberry rhubarb wine... the color is gorgeous. Medium bodied unfiltered yet the color of a dark sangria— dark magenta and not red. It’s so good. Smells like the perfume counter at Bloomingdales in the 00s, kinda a leathery musky and then Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb all around. This wine is really good AND a great deal since it comes as a liter. Highly recommend! And I’m not normally a fan of cool climate wine. — 8 years ago

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. — a year ago

High intensity aromas of black fruits - blackberries, black currants, blueberries. Dark and milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee and sage. Palate matches the nose but interestingly, not as intense as you would expect from the bouquet. — a year ago
