Stunner. Beautiful summer orchard fruit, peaches, apricot, some mint. Has so much texture, almost chewy, with delicate white tea phenolics, and then the subtle sweetness is perfectly balanced by acid and minerals. Some great development starting and a nice saltiness too. What have I been missing in Alsace? 9.5+

Rich, powerful, tropical-fruited style. Dense, but dry. Probably needs some bottle time but I would expect more complexity, even from this newer grand cru.

Just a beautiful wine, even so young. Petrol, minerals, ripping acid, and so much complexity.

My back up bottle, but it's pretty tasty. Smokey, rocky.

Always consistent and value-orientated. Clean, pure and precise without ripping off the enamel. Felix is in top form with the "beetle head".

Truly a top Riesling. Very complex nose and palette. Many fruit flavors starting with peach, then pear, and finishing with orange and pineapple with a crisp acidity.

What a lovely wine, stone fruit and citrus, good weight and silky palate, well balanced for our spectacular ten course tasting.
