Nose is all mid season red cherries, cherry flower and so so pure. Mulberry, cranberry bog and so much more. Lipstick like intensity and just so focused and clear. Insane nose. Unreal limestone and depth but also it’s like it’s vibrating on its own plain. Wow what a palate. Juicy and structured with just silly good cherry fruit of the early to mid season style and unreal clarity, focus and linearity. Unreal concentration and depth. So stunning and like a squeegee on the palate. Now some violets on the nose and unreal concentration and sorry but light and ethereal. Stunning beyond belief.After air it gets more supple and textured. All red fruit on the palate. — 17 hours ago

If you don’t love this wine you need to have your head examined.

Utterly magnificent.

Nose: perfect apricots. As this opens magnificent dense complexity. Mesmerizing. Met hints of dried apricots take this to another level. Almost like aged piesporter goldtropfchen. Like a sexy nasal caress. A hint of sluttiness. But just a hint. Damask. More elegant dense peach as it opens.

Palate: apricots. Peach. Powerfully mineral. Utterly delicious. Almost savory. Unreal. So f….ing good.

Prototypical rheinhessen Riesling. Tyson vs Ali. This is Tyson. Tyson in ip man.

2020 vintage. Quiet, unassuming and sexy. Checks off plenty of boxes but doesn't make you want to convert all the stocks into gold just yet. Medium body. Drinks coolish with blue and dark fruits. Going places but you won't be around to see it or will be too dense to realize it. Stealthy. Ninja-styled. Assassin. 5.15.24. — 5 days ago

Glorious nose of apricot, kumquat, mineral, tangerine skins, mirabelle plums, persimmon and more! Wide open nose. Incredible spice and depth. Palate is chock full peach, apricot and more. Juicy and lean but also nimble and powerful. A lot going on here. Terrific intensity and purity. Man this is concentrated and deep. Amazing palate presence. Insane! I love the mineral force that is this wine. Epic finish. — 2 months ago

Quite light straw colour . Green apple , lemon rind , white flowers and wet stones . On the palate high acidity balanced with hint of sweetness . Green apple , lime freshness , cool stony notes , good length and balanced alcohol . Simple but effective . Drink now but no rush over the next decade I should imagine . — 9 days ago

After last night’s heavy lumber nice to have such an outstanding every day wine. Gorgeous crystalline nose of yellow fruits, green apple, minerals and such lift and purity. Palate is like icing on a cake with terrific fruit skin flavors and awesome purity and balance. Serious enough for wine geeks and playful enough for beginners. Truly a joyful wine. — 11 days ago

Day 2 notes. Mineral and tropical nose. Sea salt and an airiness. So elegant. Juicy palate with razor sharp acidity and a wonderful opulence in the mid palate. Awesome purely. Like a Riesling drop (riffing off of gum drop.) Long. Just wonderful. Flavors of pink grapefruit, peach and apricot. So clear. — 4 months ago
