Nov 15th, 2022Woozy from dental anesthesia but still out to dinner. Nose is tropical and floral. Can’t get much more. Palate is ripe and luscious and I chose this vintage as lower acid than normal but still has all the classic Laibleness. Juicy and long. So pure and floral.

Apr 13th, 2022Yowza! Brilliant! Sick sick nose. Massively floral, herbal, sugar snap peas, wet stones, lavender, just insane. So deep, so layered. 9.7 nose. Just incredible. I don’t think 18 will ever shut down. Wow, so structured, yet super ethereal and endlessly complex. Like a cloud. Incredible mineral drive. This is showing out of its mind. Genius to the highest degree. Coriander and anise with air. Stunning. Excited to see how this develops.

Aug 15th, 2021Huge nose. Floral. Sickly floral. High toned peach skin. Suntan lotion. White flowers. Even lavender. Even violets. Wow. Kumquat. Sick elegance. A 9.7 nose. Woodsmoke. So so good. Ridiculous nose. Palate is dense and chewy, really opulent but also super chiseled snd pure. No hard edges. Unreal concentration. Loads of citrus fruit and so caressing. Just sick. Amazing purity. Salty. Long long long. Structure to burn and just sicko ripeness but so so delicate. And wow the length is bananas. Gets to every nook and cranny and juices your mouth. Wow.

Settled in. The exuberant Riesling fruit settled down. I am not sure. Preferred this wine when young. More later. Grown on granite in Durbach a little village on the slope of the black forest. Stonefruit, hint peach, lemon.

Damn this is good.
Nose is finely crushed rocks. Lemon flower. Really intense. Like insanely beautiful. Wow.
Palate is amazing sweet lemon nectar. Balancing clean minerals. Really clobbers the palate.
As good as a wine can be without being profound.
