9.8

The nose is utter madness and already operating at a perfect level. Lanolin, hand lotion, plantain, sweet lime juice, lemon zest, complex pear, apple, wild mint, birthday cake and an almost Northern Rhône-like richness, all filtered through the crystalline atmosphere of the Mosel. Unbelievably deep and complex, yet elegant enough to feel like vapor. The palate is stunning, with much more acidity and freshness than when I tasted it in summer 2023, along with tremendous purity, grip, juiciness, finesse and perfect balance. The finish is extraordinarily long. Still showing some inverted architecture and clearly needs time to fully open, but the raw material is monumental. The nose is a 10, perhaps more. The palate keeps the wine at 9.8 for now. — 4 days ago

Slight smell of diesel like a proper Riesling has. Smooth, balanced with hints of white fruit. Little hint of sour for the balance. — 5 months ago

Magnum. PnP. Dark red color. Dark cherries and leather on the nose. Fairly sweet wine with the fruit more prevalent than anything else. Medium plus depth and medium minus finish. Good BBQ pairing. — a year ago

Bin allestrinker, allerdings mach ich einen kleinen bogen um gewisse weine. Eine davon: sauvignon blanc. Eine dieser seltenen ausnahmen kreiiert von Winning mit seinem Sauvignon Blanc I - birgundische fülle gepaart mit nussig, weichen vanillearomen, wenig gras, keine stachelbeeren sichtbar. Im charakter noch sauvignon, aber für mich auf halben weg zu einem chardonnay. Top gemacht!! — 2 months ago

Cork was soaked through and made me nervous but this bottle was gorgeous from the first sip. Golden and rich color on this wine.

Usually this wine needs some airtime to come into its own but this one was great

Good stone fruits and a bit of pineapple. Sweetness and oak without any sugar.

Touch of lemon lime at the end — 2 months ago
