This bottle a bit muted relative to last few fireworks. Undeniably burgundian build but somehow screaming Cote-Rotie / St Joseph fruit profile. Dazzling. — 3 years ago
I’ve enjoyed this producer for a few years (specifically the Felseneck GG) but this is my first experience with their Spatlese Riesling from 2013. Followed over two days.
Next to a ‘22 Clemens Busch Auslese and a ‘22 Kloster Eberbach Baiken Erste Lage Trocken, the richness here was Goldilocks…right down the middle. Not a dynamite vintage, yet I’ve found I traditionally enjoy the Spatlese-level and above sweet wines from cooler vintages as the acid and sweetness play nicely together. Exhibit A. Ripe nectarine and white peach aromatically but also plenty of citrus notes. Lemon-lime and limestone grit dance on the mid-palate before a mineral + honeyed profile bring about an elegantly rich profile complemented by both the classical mineral and sweet Spatlese notes. Crushable at 7.5 ABV!
Enjoyable now and I’m not sure it gets better from here, just different. Consistent over both nights. — 7 days ago
Although the Rheingau dominates in Riesling, the region’s Pinot Noirs are also noteworthy. From one of the oldest wine makers there, this Spätburgunder is light, balanced acidity, and beautiful layers of fruit. — 3 years ago

The Mauer where it’s only the grapes picked from the wall where they absorb heat from the day. Peaches and steel. A hint of sweet. Lovely mouthfeel. Fresh and delicious and long. — 4 years ago
