So dry, so pure, so barely ripe. Elegant and palate staining. That’s the Schatzel style. — a year ago

Nose has some apricot skin. Some smoke. As I opens some green apple skin.

Palate is very vibrant. Not hugely fruited. Mineral. As it opens some mountain stream thing. Green apple.

Gorgeous wine and the most accessible young GG out there. Stunning in 18. Nose of lime blossom, white flowers, apricot, citrus, tangerine, huge mineral backbone, haunting and layered. Juicy and complex a wonderful tactile sweetness and then salty with huge acids and freshness. Balanced and so so pure. Explosive and juicy with insane energy and that tactile tensile sweetness. This is so good. I think Kai has perfected his style in 2018. Amazing palate presence and delicacy. — 4 years ago

Racy Spatlese 101. Wow. What a brilliant nose. Gorgeous minerals, pineapple cream, apricot, peach nectar, so so decadent but clean as a whistle and never too much. Palate is hauntingly elegant with terrific concentration and citric power. Incredible depth, but also light and persistent. Terrific wine. The elegance has shockingly vivid fruits put this over the top. — 4 years ago

Needs an hour decant.

Nose : rich Meyer lemon. Sweet richness. Amazing nose. Hint of lemon floor wax. Elite level intensity. Some smoke as it opens.

Palate: very dense but in a fruity way. Large polished stone minerality. Meyer lemon.

Very particular.

I’d guess spatlese blind.

Sick levels of perfect peach juice. Amazing balance.

Wow. A great wine.

A week in has that Riesling Funk. I fell like I’m in Germany. Just fills the nostrils. Like you are tasting in a cellar. It’s that smoky aged grape musty smell. Amazing.

Just a beautiful wine that is vibrating on its own plane. Stunningly floral nose. So delicate and layered and almost poignant. Amazing deep minerality that is so primal, almost of a different time. So special. Citrus, lime, crushed rocks, river stream. So many aromas. Such an array. One of the greatest noses on a young Riesling ever. Insanely juicy and complex with just electric acidity and minerality. Like a cloud with so many flavors and layers but oh so delicate. My god this is stunnIng. Epically long and well paced finish with insane levels of energy, lime sweet tart, huge minerals and insane structure. This needs 5 years and will age gracefully for 15-18. An accomplishment. — 4 years ago
