Amazing Mosel Riesling, probably the best I’ve had! Very aromatic, concentrated and balanced. Long finish. Lemon, floral, great acidity and not cloying like some Mosels can be. Thanks @Lyle Fass — a month ago

My last bottle, sadly, of a case. I drank like spring water which is not to say it was. Enough cut, salt water taffy, & RS to keep this camper alive & happy for days in the wilderness. — 3 months ago

Transformative. That Mosel balance but with the PG tropicality.

Nose: yellow flowers. Apricot flower. So perfumed. So so pretty.

Palate: perfect. Gossamer. Perfect texture. Apricot extract. Amazing.

A very detailed and elegant PG auslese. They can be quite forward in a tropical way. This is so elegant

Insane concentration for a Mosel wine. Has all the slate minerality, complex white and yellow florals, tropical fruit ie guava pineapple; has the signature Steinmetz searing acidity (in a good way) but with a density similar to a Pflaz GG. Spectacular. This is a top wine. @Lyle Fass — 6 months ago

Stunning. Confectionary peach and apricot, tiny petrol note, then saline sea-breeze complexity, almost like the greatest swimming pool in the world. Palate is dry, juicy, concentrated, energetic, with terrific tension and outrageous inner-mouth aromas. Fruit is youthening up as it opens. 9.4 to 9.5 overnight. Much more finesse. — 24 days ago

So much intensity and complexity on the nose and the palate. Just detonates on the palate with an assortment of Riesling flavors - nectarine, mango, grilled pineapple, mycelial tones, honey, salt, slate, mint, wildflowers - and it just kept changing over the four hours I spent with it. The mid-palate was beautifully lush and silky, but the opulence was ephemeral as the current of electricity running through it asserted itself. The finish is particularly impressive; complex and seemingly eternal. I wish I had bought more than a single case. Hoping my ‘16 Paulinshofberg is as magical. — 2 months ago

Just awesome. Insane spice and mulberry on the nose along with oolong tea and a suave, sleek, stunningly textured palate with silky tannins and unreal clarity of fruit. Just delicious. Unbelievably lush today with gorgeous cranberry fruit and a sweet bitter note that fleshes out with acidity all the way in your lower back gums. Gorgeous texture. Haunting. Like 50’s Volnay 1er Cru. — 4 months ago

Stone fruit aromas, lemon, lots of lime, with a slate and smoke background, white flowers. Palate with super fresh acidity, good concentration. At least a 30 year wine. — 6 months ago

I didn’t take any notes on this one, but it stood out for its full throttle intensity, married to supreme elegance, with a textured mouthfeel. Long, resonant finish. First try with this bottling, and I would have purchased two additional cases had I known how brilliant it is. Will back up the truck next year. Hard to believe how open this is at this age, and I don’t know how I will be able to hold on to these for the long haul. — 8 months ago

Thicker than 2021, but just as lifted. A Kabinett of light and air, with enough density to carry you. The acidity was joy itself. The mouthfeel was silk in motion. There's something about the 2023s, they have more breadth, more echo. Like the 21s got stretched sideways in all the right ways.
I didn't take notes. I just sat there. And felt better after a brutal day. Because sometimes, at the end of a brutal day, all you need is a Steinmetz Kabinett to remind you that life still has sweetness. — 10 months ago

Rubber ball sheds its shackles, opening into tropical vibes - passion fruit and guava. Great stuff. — 23 days ago

Good now with a decant. Better in 3 years. Maybe profound. Can’t tell.

N: grapefruit peel.

P: sweet grapefruit. Mountain stream. Savory ? Salty. Mouth coating.

Outrageous. Just crazy. Huge herbals. Huge florals. Tree bark, citrus stem, unreal aromas. Confectionary. Nose is a 9.9. Just incredible. Palate is just killer. Super elegant and deep with a midpalate I can get lost in. Superb fruit soak and unreal purity. Gently concentrated. Pure apple, melon and apricot fruit. Drinking so well now. After 16 hours open this continues to develop amazingly. Unreal confectionary nose. Some classic vulcanized rubber and unreal clarity. This is genius. Smarties nose. Palate is so fine and nimble but it’s got some weight and heft. Juicy and so clean. Icing on a cake texture. Just stunning. — 5 months ago
