What a wine. A certifiable Martin Mullen Fass freak show. That’s what this is. The nose is just krazor. Freakish levels of spice and a bazar like perfume. Like a market in Marrakesh on a hot day. Gorgeous citrus. Like the clarity here is off the charts. So detailed and expressive. Dried apricot. Just divine. Deep, pulsating minerality. Has that feral Mullen edge but make no mistake this is as refined and nimble as Mosel Riesling gets. It carries so much body on the palate but just dances. The nose is a 9.9. As it airs it gets honeyed and even more complex. Special. The density here is insane. The unreal fruit presence and clarity. Mandarin orange, mineola orange, the tanginess. The saltiness. Just so long. A brilliant wine and a superstar. Maybe even a benchmark. — 2 days ago

Grande Réserve Pinot noir 2012
I don’t think this was the best bottle. Nose seemed oddly oxidized but the palate was smoking. Maybe dosage a bit too high but elegant, balanced and super pure. I’ll taste again tonight but I think I need to open another bottle to get a handle on this. — 8 days ago

Graf Maisprach Pinot Noir 2022
Superb. Brambly cherries, glorious spice and Alpine love. Really airy and expansive. Palate is full of minerals and energy. Gorgeous cherry fruit that is so pure and sapid. Velvety tannins that are so well knit. Needs air but this is a superstar. The texture became so creamy but it didn’t sacrifice its minerality. — 4 days ago

In a great place. Nose is all yellow fruits, gras and that unique St. Peray minerality. It’s got teeth. Almost some exotic french desert aroma. So interesting. Palate is explosive and juicy with perfect balance and fantastic freshness. Almost tannic finish. This has blossomed with some short term aging. — 2 days ago
