Oct 31st, 2024Sick nose. Pulverized rock dust. Elegant. Juicy and brilliant. Gorgeous fruit. This is a 9.9 for me. So concentrated and pure. The minerality. Sweet herbals. Grippy! This is 9.95. God damn. This is insane.

Aug 26th, 2022Hugely mineral nose. So much slate. Some lovely pure apricots as well. Gorgeous clarity and freshness. Killer. A mineral blizzard. So refined. Herbs as well. Just so clean and so Mosel. Palate is so elegant and a hint of creaminess and lovely saline, and elegant finish. This is pure class in a glass. Outrageous complexity. What length. The finish is insanely mineral with lingering flavors of apricot and peach. Super juicy and so clear. Saline. Awesome acid and mineral backbone. Still has more to say. Wow. I’ll be back. Such crunchy minerality. Sappy and so pure. Amazing length.
overnight this went from 9.5 to 9.7. stunning minerality and concentration. so so dry. a genius wine.

Wow. Great dry Riesling that has flavors of pineapple and citrus and other complex fruit flavors, with a fruity nose of pineapple and peach. So much more than I expected: truly a great dry Riesling and better than other vintages of this wine.

Nose is green apple and grapefruit rind. As it opens some lovely slate.
Palate is grapefruit rind apostle skin and green apple. Nice minerality. As it opens some lovely richness. Maybe a touch of rs.
