Maybe in half a year Delectable will correct their description. Fully mature, showing minerality, delicate tannins, red berries, and complexity. Not unlike a good Volnay. — 5 months ago

Deep lemon yellow in colour. Aromatics of apricot, fudge, confectionery and a touch of paraffin. On the palate a waxy unctuous texture with a fruit salad of flavours - medium plus intensity with low acidity. Fermented out to 13% alcohol and finishes dry. An excellent GG Riesling. Drinking at its peak and at the end of its drinking window according to some experts. Michael Schmidt is JRs German expert says 2013 to 2020. — 5 years ago

Fruit bomb. Maybe mellowed a bit by the age. Would be well received in the Schmidt household — 7 years ago

See previous note from February 2024. Peachy and mineral. Absolute purity on the palate with profound intensity and medium minus acidity. At 10 years still with a future but hard to beat right now. Jancis Robinson’s German expert, Michael Schmidt, scored this 19/20. Seriously a world class dry Riesling (13% ABV). Some tasters are getting petrol/kerosene aromas but I’m not getting that. — a year ago

Mid Lemon in colour. A 10 year old GG from the Rheinhessen - not a hint of TDN (Kerosene/Petrol notes in aged Riesling). Just been reading a research paper on TDN from the Australian Wine Research Institute. Definitely sunshine to the extent of sunburnt grapes is a big factor. Also a fact I wasn’t aware of that cork allows TDN to release more than with a screw cap. This GG had a cork, although personally I would prefer a screw cap particularly with a Riesling. This Wittmann showed peach and mineral - also white flowers ( Daisies, Barb thought). Enough acid to keep things lively and delicious - some herbs. Enough fruit richness and sweetness to almost convince you that it is off dry but it is actually 13% ABV. An excellent dry German Riesling worthy of the Grosses Gewachs classification. A very high score of 19/20 from Michael Schmidt. — 4 years ago
