Mosel, Germany
And we begin with the #GG's! Only gray #slate from the middle section of the greater Marienburg and sourced from "younger vines" that are already 30 years old. A sleeping giant at this point but given ample time to breathe and open up in a decanter it is an impressive experience! #ClemensBusch #Riesling #Marienburg #GrossesGewächs #Mosel #terroirist

Zesty with grapefruit and lime. Florals on the lengthy finish.

Jun 2nd, 2017This was incredible, really structured, balanced and very well made. Great combination of minerality and fruit, which is hard to achieve. Worked brilliantly with with an earthy trout dish

Great golden yellow color with a very good clarity. Bees wax, honey, serious petroleum at first. As it heats up it opens up the fruit (mature apple, apricot, pineapple, orange peel), herbs and earthy aromas. I sat and smelled the wine for 15 minutes without tasting it. The palate deserved the pleasure too. Great complexity, with deep layers of elegancy typical for a top notch mosel riesling. Still young and still peaking, all you need is to gather your thoughts and enjoy this awesome riesling. 95/100
