Great Riesling. Nose is intense but very elegant. Crisp apple and a light just-ripe peach. Nice slatey minerality. Soft in the mouth but with piercing acids at the same time. Laser focus. Lip-smacking all the way through the long finish.

Lovely finesse driven Ellegrub. Lemon curd, slate, blue fruits, palate is gorgeous. Weighty but also so fine and refined. Great finesse. Good concentration and purity and a hint of sweet ripe fruit. Almost comes across as slightly Kabinett feinherb but it’s 12% and Spatlese ripeness. Very nice. Good balance.

Screaming enkirch typicity. Terrific minerality. Especially on the nose. Green apple. Lemon peel. Some depth after a half hour. Really starts to hit you then. Almost like confit of apple and lemon. Awesome structure. Rally well made. A wine professional wine. Great with food. My guess will be sick in ten years. Hope this wasn't the last bottle. Bought from Fass selections.

At Dao Fu in San Diego with my Family and my Massage therapist an ultra foodie with a good palate. Green apples on the nose. You can already sense this will be the diesel/oily/wet garden hose type in 5 years from now! Excellent I am very impressed. From Lyle Fass the email importer. Here he is spot on. Beautiful mineraltity, sour green apple. Very classic flawless Mosel. Needs to be revisited in 5 years from now. Awesome.

What a nose. Mineral, slate, confectionary nose. Dry, mineral and slatey, juicy, concentrated and pure. A. Bit closed but it's all there. Terrific balance and purity.
