Vintage 2016 | a meadow in spring. Beautiful yellow colour. Honey melon, Turkish delight in smell, apricots as well. Vibrant fresh taste, I love Franken Silvaner. Paired with shrimps. — 4 days ago

I am not sure Dom is my jam. The overt amount of fruit and yeasty bread is a little too intense for me. — 6 months ago

Opening bottle for a special night out, paired with a modern Korean tasting menu. Color is a knockout goldenrod, with the bottle age bringing a rounded, textured mouthfeel really matching the raw fish, Unami notes, & intricate textures of the first 2/3 of the menu. Dried apple, sulfured apricot, & celery notes. Elegant & pretty long. While dry really approximates an aged German Reisling, with such a plump, yet refined acid backbone. — 7 months ago

Outstanding! More minerality and longer in the palate then the Kühling-Gillot. Curious to drink it young once! — 5 months ago

Electric on the nose!
Palate of plums, ripe cherries, subtle purple flowers, and tertiary characteristics of earth.
Very interesting! It almost tastes French!
I can’t wait to try more #german #pinotnoir — 5 months ago

I love this wine but I’ll admit it’s niche. Glorious confectionary nose. Clearly too young, as this wine really sings starting at 10, but whatever, I got too much wine to drink them all at the perfect time. Sweet wood, stone fruits and intense minerality. Some pollen as well on the nose. Such a complex nose. But in 5 years watch out! Palate is so elegant and rich but fresh from the minerals and not the acid which is merely solid. Really coats the tongue. So good. The finish is stone fruits, sweet wood and that rock licking feeling on your tongue. Just a killer Grau because it’s got that Laible magic. — 7 months ago
