I was worried about this bottle as the fill level was low and there was a lot of seepage. Didn’t matter at all. Fantastic nose of concentrated stone fruit: apricot, peach, some pineapple as well. Sweet smelling flowers ie honeysuckle and slight jasmine note. Nice, mild petrol aroma. On the palate very concentrated and in a great place in terms of the freshness and acidity combined with that aged Riesling profile of honeyed stone fruit, candied pineapple, dried citrus rind, all with a acidity framing the wonderful fruit. In a great place right now.

Love this Riesling. Super mineral forward. I feel so sad for people who don’t drink Riesling. It’s such a joy. — 4 years ago

This is wonderful. Beautifully aged to a nice brick red. Must, earth, wet-leaf and humus, plus violet and wildflower, raspberries and various red fruits on the nose. Silken-light, but still energetic. Some blood-orange zest, clove, star anise, baking spices and culinary herbs too; has an aglianico-like character minus the tannins. Elegant and so easy to drink. — 4 years ago

Wow. In the zone. Palate had confectionary cotton candy and smarties. Gorgeous apple pie nose. Drink up but no rush but kind of a rush. — a year ago

Nose is slate. Citrus flower. White flowers. Quite lovely. Scratch that. Fucking beautiful.

Palate is mineral. Citrus. Crunchy. Minerals made from citrus.

Elite levels of typicity. If I could create a mosel trocken from scratch this is what it would be. You can literally smell mosel slate on this. I love this wine.

Characteristic petrol & pear bouquet expectant of this appellation.

Pear cider bomb. Perfect salinity dances with flourishes of effervescence.

This is a classic example of what a well-balanced off dry Riesling can accomplish.

Lovely. — 5 years ago

Showing so well. Insane spices on the nose that takes you to Morey or Vosne. Gorgeous slate and herbals and wow what insane levels of deep cherries. Gorgeous and in the zone. Palate is juicy and elegant with lively sour cherry and mid season cherry and delightful finesse and complexity. Long finish and lovely palate staining. Really just glorious wine. As this aired it gained some opulence in the mid palate and lovely inner mouth spice aromas. — 10 months ago

Juicy nose, apricot, but a bit quiet now. Huge power, depth and concentration, grippy and dense, tremendous, higher sugar and high extract, dense, huge acid, love the structure, energetic for days. So so good. Just spectacular. Needs age. But this is as special as it gets. — a year ago

Bright complex acidity, sweetness is there but not overpowering. Quite the treat after Christmas dinner! — 4 years ago
