Drowning in baby fat. Limitless potential, but don't go anywhere near it for a decade, at least. Very Spatlese ++.

Hands down the best site in Nahe. Sandstone, volcanic debris and then slate. Crystalline. Resonant. Helmut and Cornelius form the dream team.

Can't help feel that wine at its most profound is ethereal. Aged well crafted off-dry Rieslings often is.

The gold color is consistent with the scintillating richness, sweetness, and freshness, brilliant and very different from a recent more austere 2002 Norheimer Dellchen Spatlese.

Very sweet - almost as sweet as a dessert wine. Dangerous since you can end up downing it. Best complemented by sour food or salty fish. #casamia

Great aromatics, white flowers and mango. Big, super balance of tropical fruit and limey citrus acidity that's definitely there but subtle. Fine. Screaming for a seared foie gras! Thanks, again, Matt C!
