Vintage 2015 | true to type Riesling. Beautiful slate minerals in smell, full bodied at first sip, good acidity after swallowing. Personally I prefer the Mosels with sweetness. Why harvest spätlese and Auslese and vinify it ‘trocken’ ? A slightly better when you eat with it, eg some charcuterie.

Wonderful lusty nose of honeyed, earthy apricot, petrol. So rich but balanced and light. Nice acidity balances the sweet, pure, complex flavors. Could sip this forever.

Good balance although it's starting to lose a little structure. Still really delicious

Vintage 2013 - archetypical! Smells like a whole garden with flowers, has good tension and great balance between sweet and sour. Very lively wine.
