Unmistakably German murky crimson that reminds me of a dark forest and smells like damp leaves.

Starts rich with cherry and cedar notes, chalky minerality, and evolves into savory sappy balsamic and soy.

I remember thinking the 2012 was more fruit forward and charismatic. 2015 is darker and more restrained, with proportional dimensions. — 3 days ago

Nose: lovely brioche and lemon peel perfume. Quite aromatic.

Palate: delicious sweet lemon fruit. Mineral. Hint of grapefruit. Delicious

An incredible entry level Sparkler. Not super complex on the palate or this would rank higher. But for the price you cannot beat it for this style of citrus forward sparkling.

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.

Nose is classic Goldtropfchen. Big tropical fruits slathered in slate. Some sweet tart. Palate is rich, ripe, sweet and has the richness of the juice in a fruit cup but also an icing on the cake texture. Gorgeously pure wine. — 20 days ago

Gorgeous wine and so energetic as 12 is not the warmest vintage but Niklas still manages to get unreal purity and ripeness. Deeply spicy nose, cardamom, clove, cinnamon, slate, asian spices. Just terrific. Palate is crackling but also has terrific mid palate opulence and acid and energy for days on the finish. Drinking so well now. — a month ago

Acht jahre später! Damals mit 8.8 bewertet da ich mich noch genau an eine gute struktur aber wenig reifen tanninen und einer nicht ganz ausbalanciertenm fruchtanteil erinnere. Jetzt, im März 2026, hat er seinen höhepunkt erreicht. Groassrtig — 2 months 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. — 2 years ago
