Vintage 2019 | this bottle survived the ‘Hochwasserfluss’ disaster in 2021. Now at home it tastes even better than in July when we were there. Refinement and elegance. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2006 / Retzstadter Langenberg #Bacchus Kabinett / When I told my tailor Paul I visited winegrowers in Franken, the land of ‘bocksbeutel’ bottles, he said: hold on, went to his office and returned with this bottle. How about this? He asked. I thought: 2006... that wine must me dead, Paul, I am sorry. Well take it with you and see, he told me. I put it in the fridge, looked suspiciously at the screw cap... and opened this #Franken wine a few hours later. Colour of old gold, not bad at all... Sniff, sniff. A smell with hints of tangerine, honey, a rose garden. I looked better at the label and then saw: halbtrocken. And kabinett. That means there is residual sugar in this wine (‘restsüsse’). I sip... and am amazed: it is still correct, more than that: it is a joy to drink! In the smell also citrus, gets better with aeration. How amazing wine can be... grow older... and still be vibrant. Lovely experience. / Bacchus is a crossing of riesling and sylvaner and Müller thurgau. — 8 years ago

vintage 2019 | Such a solid and beautiful pinot noir, especially with 6-8 cellar years. My wife said three times: my gosh, this is delicious. Paired with a steak, shimesji mushrooms, parsnip frites and a salad. Loads of red fruit, esp raspberries. Vibrant taste. Crucial to pick the largest glasses. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2016 | when I bought this in Germany, I asked how long it would last. The Ahr is not known for Riesling, do not keep it too long, was the answer. Wrong answer, imo. This wine is now delicious with awesome sweet/acidity balance. Great! — 2 years ago

these 2012s are still in the market and worth tracking down. my previous reviews showed them lacking. now vibrant, mineral-driven Pinot fruit is showing. nice wine for the money. — 8 years ago
