9.8

The nose is utter madness and already operating at a perfect level. Lanolin, hand lotion, plantain, sweet lime juice, lemon zest, complex pear, apple, wild mint, birthday cake and an almost Northern Rhône-like richness, all filtered through the crystalline atmosphere of the Mosel. Unbelievably deep and complex, yet elegant enough to feel like vapor. The palate is stunning, with much more acidity and freshness than when I tasted it in summer 2023, along with tremendous purity, grip, juiciness, finesse and perfect balance. The finish is extraordinarily long. Still showing some inverted architecture and clearly needs time to fully open, but the raw material is monumental. The nose is a 10, perhaps more. The palate keeps the wine at 9.8 for now. — 4 days ago

From Calvert Woolsey $30 for 2019 on 7/17/2022. Cammomille, flowers. Exactly what Riesling should be. — 4 years ago

Neues Etikett, das ist schön. Wein ist nicht so prägnant wie die Jahre davor, im PLV eher schwach — 5 years ago

Bill is wearing a Michaelangelo apron (peen and everything) and this wine is perfect. Crazy light body but a hint of bonfire. — 6 years ago

Slight smell of diesel like a proper Riesling has. Smooth, balanced with hints of white fruit. Little hint of sour for the balance. — 5 months ago

Very nice Gruner that works with a huge range of foods. A bit lush for a federspiel (12%) and somewhat lacking white pepper and watercress you would expect but a delicious wine nonetheless. — 4 years ago

Nose displays white peach, green apple, lime, ripe starfruit, touch a dry hay, and hint of honey. The palate, bright and lively, is a bit leaner than the medium to fu body suggests. Fascinating bitter sweet on the finish.
Should drink more GV. — 5 years ago

A delightful Blaufrankisch Rose from Finger Lakes. Dominated by red berries and red cherry with hint of spice notes. Mouthwatering acidity yet mineral. A Rosé you should keep in your cellar. — 6 years ago

Key lime, rich lemon, mango. Fuller than the Wei Kun I just had. All about the fruit here. — a year ago

Ripe, round and mature. Lovely mouthfeel, not bonedry.
Lacking some acidity, finishes slightly short and bitter. — 2 years ago

Good. A little bit of green apples on this, perhaps a little oxidized cause it felt like a lot older bottle but serious stuff — 5 years ago
