Pale lemon, with a nose primarily of white and yellow flowers, fairly delicate. Some wet slate mineral tones as well. Carried through on the palate with typical racy acidity. Lacks a bit in concentration, but overall a nice wine. There are better examples of dry Riesling for the price — 17 days ago

Maybe not the fireworks of a Dönnhoff or Schönleber, but a damn good glass of Nahe from a big, fatty vintage. Yellow cherries and ripe pineapple, buttressed by excellent structure and barely-there wet slate minerality. — 6 years ago

Developing. Tightly-coiled as expected, gave it a full day. Rubber, mint, wet stone, flaky minerals, nice poise & balance. Lovely work. — 3 years ago

The trifecta - 2004, Lay (coolest plot of Halenberg), and magnum! This is pinnacle level stuff. Took its time to open up, but when it did... Mind-altering! The nose was wonderfully complex right from the start. Evolved from smokey stone fruit aromas, to a tropical fruit basket with biscuit-like tones, to more salinity and fresh cut herbs, and finally to a mix of dried citrus with deep calcerous minerality and woody herbs. Crazy. Closed till the end of the bottle, but the balance was undeniable from the get-go. Perfectly integrated acidity, highly concentrated, juicy yellow stone fruits, deep minerality, and endless finish. As SC puts it, at its first peak now, but needs another 10 years to show its best. — 6 years ago

On open. Cidery shit.

Wait 90 minutes.

Nose: fermented dried apricots. But pretty. Complex.

Palate: dried Riesling. Apricot sherry. Smells better than it tastes.

Unique. Not sure it’s good. — 4 months ago

Fresh & pure & slightly exotic on the nose with pineapple, candied lemon-peel & candied ginger. A touch of brioche, too, but not too much.
Nicely balanced on the palate with fine mousse & persistent bubbles. Typical Riesling with apples & steely lemons. A delicious Riesling Sekt! — 5 years ago
