Wow!! For sure one of the best white wines I’ve ever had. I realllllly love the aromatics on this - some smokiness, herbs, minerals with lemon. Complex, subtle, layered. The flavors are very refined. Very mineral, perfect acidity. Restrained, elegant fruit, mostly citrus with notes of pecan, popcorn? and fresh greens. Luxurious finish. So balanced! I just learned that Gutedel is another name for Chasselas, which is a favorite grape of mine for Swiss whites. But this is on another level. I’m going to listen to @Lyle Fass and patiently age my other 2 bottles. Just had to try one now :) — 6 days ago

Entirely new beast to me. First German Syrah I’ve tasted. 15 year old vines. Energetic, zesty, and pepper-y. Bit sharp on the finish but this is buzzing. — a month ago

An amazing vintage here. Nose is a bit funky out of the gates but wow once it gets going it’s all red cherries, sour cherries, and wild herbs. So so good. Really lifted. Palate is mega closed but my goodness rhys is super precise and focused. Like a laser. Unreal freshness and acidity and barely ripe sour cherry and early season cherry fruit. Insane velvety and sour/sweet tannins. Wine as sweet tart. This needs air. It’s got the bones but I will check back in an hour or two. Oh this is getting better but it’s gonna be slow. Angular and dense but so balanced. That Rhini structure abounds. — 7 months ago

In a great spot. Big explosive and feral nose. Almost sinewy. Floral, tart cherries, a wildness but also so expressive: Perfumed. Huge mineral background. But the palate is just god tier. So much sweet tangy fruit backed up by just incredible energy. Gets to every nook and cranny. So juicy. Unreal finish. So elegant in the midpalate. Unreal explosiveness and that tart sweetness is crazy and uniquely German. This is insane. — 9 months ago

Wow. What a bizarre yet beautiful evolution.

Nose: white flowers. Age. Crazy. Dried apricot.

Palate: dense. Orange. Chewy.

Utterly singular.

Big flavours here. Burning tires/diesel notes with punchy minerality. Reminds me of Ziereisen... — 8 months ago
