Wow. Stunning aromas and class. Brilliant. Concentrated and nimble. Succulent and pure. Insane acids. Genius. With air this comes alive! Nose has spice, brown sugar and minerals but all in a pungent perfumed style. Gorgeous. Palate is so silky and elegant. Wow. Brimming with minerals and spice with wonderful juiciness and concentration.

One of the best GG’s in Germany. So much class. Fantastic but also cellar for 5-6 more years to get it to 9.7-9.8.

Mid Lemon yellow in colour. Aromas of peach and mineral. On the palate rich peach verging on apricot. Rich texture and power with minimal acid- ready to drink which will give enormous enjoyment to those who partake. Very impressed by this dry German Riesling from Pfalz. The 2019 vintage from Christmann will be a must

Stunning. Wild acid, so much concentration and purity. Super floral with some tropical fruit and petrol. Outstanding, though very intense now, will probably outlive us all.

Darker color. Intense and deep. Very intense and pure with ripping acidity and extract. Almost like a red in the mouth and very persistent. But still lovely.

Sick aromas. Confectionary sugar, citrus, yellow fruits. Balance is extraordinary. Insane complexity and concentration. So pure and so refined. What complexity. What mineral drive. Serious wine.

Petrol and spice driven nose with earthy notes that reminded me a bit of old school Koehler Ruprecht. That being said i found this very much unique which is becoming increasingly rare. Racy acidity rounded this beautiful wine off nicely

Petrol on the nose. Intense acidity and mineral on the palate.
