Damn this is good. Light, elegant and drinkable with a sensuous mustiness, mint, red fruit and spicy sweetness. — 2 months ago

That’s actually the previous spater veit in the glass and this wine is much darker. What a wine. Dark berries, dark blackberry, mint, mineral, tree bark, so complex and deep. Wow this is sick. So much black cherry. Genius. Earthy. Truffley. Has some masserata in it. Some weird freak grape. Wow what a palate. Silken, sexy and lush. Lovely blackberry and purple fruits. Like a wine jelly donut filling. Stunning freshness and depth and focused like a laser. Insane linearity. Lovely sweetness. This is incredible. What a revelation. Nose is developing wild mint now. Just a gorgeous wine. So complex, complete and unique! Wow wow wow.

9.4 to 9.5 overnight. So much more complete and added elegance and energy. A stunning wine. — 2 years ago

Not super complex but refreshing. Darker than I expected, in ripeness and on the nose. There’s some blood orange and forest floor and lots of bruised ripe cherries. Slight bit of leather. Blood orange again, vanilla, and pine on the finish. It’s cherry season out there so if everyone wants to keep talking about cherries, go out and follow them throughout the season and cycles of ripeness. There’s some soft but present, fairly fine-grained tannins and a grey stream mineral finish. — 4 years ago

@delectable Spater-veit goldtropfchen Riesling trocken

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.

Awesome. Rainy nights call for Auslese. More notes soon. Nose is ripe apricots and apricots skins. Honeyed and custardy. Slatey. Deep and glorious. So airy and salty as well. Salted caramel Auslese. Palate is rich, ripe and viscous. Round and opulent but also incisive with awesome acidity. Honeyed finesse. This is so good. — 7 months ago

Pears, sweetness of cider. Leaf essence laced in a breeze on a hike.

Pears. Well balanced sweetness. A nice peach aftertaste on the end note. Pretty. This is a pretty wine. — 4 years ago

Fresh, creamy, almost like a lemongrass lavender candle. Interesting.

Good carbonation. Good sweetness. Good fruit and acidity. Nice and off dry. The kicker that really rounds out a Riesling for me is not just it’s fresh, herb quality, but umami. I think the savoriness in wonderfully working Rieslings is often underrated or overlooked. We’ve got a bit of it here, which rounds out the experience nicely. — 4 years ago
