Huge acid upfront, nice sweetness but not too much on the back end! — 5 years ago
Almost midori-like character instantly on the nose, Apple / kiwi cordial, peach jelly, spearmint and butterscotch tobacco. The palate strikes the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity aswell as precision and clean fruit. It slips right across the mid palate and glides on through. Pretty faultless really.

Another great experience with this wine, my first time trying the 2020 vintage of the Kiedricher Turmberg from Robert Weil in the Rheingau - pictured here unceremoniously in my recycling bin. The nose is effusive, outgoing, and the palate has enormous presence, a huge rod of sparkling, metallic acidity with incredible flavours of lime, green apple, grapefruit, and white pepper.
The finish is long, and packs the sort of punch you enjoy from such high quality Rheingau riesling. Immaculate stuff.

Sporting a killer nose that could only be German, leaping out of the glass with youthful vigour is the Kiedrich Turmberg 1er Lage Trocken from Weingut Robert Weil, a drop-dead gorgeous riesling from the Rheingau.
With great minerality, the nose features aromas of oyster shell, the freshest of lime zest, peach, cardamom, faint petrol and fresh cream. It’s a wine you can sniff for ages, but then it’s got somewhere to be. It veritably explodes in the mouth, that lime returning with a tongue-full of acidity and razor-sharp precision. Flecks of white pepper add a slight element of spice, while it races through the palate to a long, bone-dry finish.
A powerful, chiselled example of Riesling trocken. — 4 years ago
Tropical fruit underneath the predominant apricot, but lacking the intensity of the Grafenberg which I wanted. — 7 years ago
Light touch of green . More complexity , quite fresh fruits , apple , lemon peel , mineral , touch of smoke . On the palate quite round and rich more yellow fruits . Mineral , much more persistence on the palate, balanced acidity. Young will age quite well over the next 5-10 years . — 2 years ago
Solid, not the best of her 2015 bottlings, but we sure ain't complaining. — 8 years ago

This is an accidental pour... I wanted to open one other Robert Weil erste lage Riesling trocken wine and didn't pay enough attention... well, this is probably much too young, but we like it anyway! The nose is slightly muted with lemon skin, a petroly thing, rose petals, elder flower, a touch of vanilla. Wow this is a bit unusual when compared to the usual german Riesling numbers I am used to. There is almost a tiny strawberry jogurt touch too. The palate is showing a great acid drive, some massive width, some grip all along, lemon zest, lemon juice, that same jogurty note all along... The finish starts with a massive, spherical, mid palate that powers up a real massive complex finish with lemon peel, strawberry jogurt that goes on for almost a minute. This is probably too young but this is a monster of a wine too. Hat's off! — 5 days ago
