Nose is so killer. Rich, nougat and mineral. Superb sea air minerals. Palate is rich and racy and oh so juicy and little fruit so far but huge minerals. So compact and complete. Unreal juiciness and so lean yet has great ripeness. I love 21. Nose has salt and spice galore. Icing on cake texture is to die for. Brilliant.

Nose is stoney and a bit quiet. Some kumquat, some peach. But slowly getting there. Palate is superbly mineral and energetic but also as the nose suggests a bit closed. But luscious, mineral and sappy. Long finish. GG like complexity and texture. But needs to open a bit more. Finish is very salty, deep and mineral.

What a nose. Honeysuckle, spice cake, crazy herbal elements, mint, sage, thyme, coriander, terrific. Complex, nougat, tropical, concentrated, pure, playful, delightful. So much dancing on the palate. Amazingly purity. Round. Huge acids. Just a genius profile. So long. So so so long.

Such an expressive nose. Superbly mineral and confectionary. Almost a vanilla nougat element that is so clean. Awesome. So floral as well. Pretty as pretty can be. Huge minerals. Wet rocks. Exactly what one wants. A nose so expressive of place. Wow. Powerful, deep and concentrated with incredible mineral inner mouth aromas and that confectionary aroma. Thrilling palate. Structured and deep. So elegant but also substantially powerful. A wine of contests. Super saline and grippy finish. Beautiful mineral driven 1er Cru Riesling with superb sap and structure on the slowly building and very long finish. So terrific. After some air tangy fleshy peach and apricot fruit start to develop on the finish. But this is still a mineral driven wine. Awesome complexity on the finish. Pure. Structured. Sappy. After 5 hours nose is so expansive and aromatic. Hints of leather and insane forest floor. Palate is more integrated and complete. Seamless and structured. So long and complex. The most GG like Ortsweine.

A powerful, expressive Riesling with brilliant structure & minerality. Cool on the nose with spicy quince & lemon, salty & smokey aromas, a tiny bit of reduction. A touch of sesame as well perhaps? On the palate very complementary to the nose, dense yet with great precision & purity, layered with juicy, vibrant acidity and a brilliant finish with crushed flint & salty rye sourdough.
A grand wine, better than many GGs, ready to drink now and will undoubtedly keep for years to come.

If Chablis and German Riesling had a baby, this would be it. Precise and nicely textured. Dry and mineraly. I’ve yet to have a just good wine from KG. One of my favorite wineries right now.

Nose is subtle and complex. As it opens gorgeous spring flower garden with dew still on. See the honeysuckle thing. White flower.

Palate is perfect lemons and minerals. As it opens some richness. Good density. Wow. Intensely mineral.

Tastes like very good traditional 1er cru Chablis. In a sense.

Let’s see where this goes.
