Just an awesome wine. Reinhardt calls it Germany’s Clos St. Hune and it might be! Nose is confectionary beyond. Like a cotton candy explosion. Gorgeous sweet minerality as well. Just a profound and airy nose. Wow. Palate is chock full of minerals and is elegant, linear and concentrated. So pure and long. Man is this also juicy with white peach .White peach now on the nose as well. Superb concentration and sap. Almost tannic on the finish and so fresh it’s crazy. This is a brilliant wine. Will track as it airs out. Citrus oil on the nose and it gains in roundness as it airs. Stunning.

Surprisingly fresh and awesome. Cork came out fully intact. Dark golden color had be thinking it was over the hill but a beautiful nose of petrol, apricot, and lime were complimented by some incredibly saltiness. The palate was fresh and vibrant and actually got lighter and more mineral the longer it was open. Finished the bottle in less than an hour. I’ve never had an old GG but this gives me hope that I can easily age my 2011-2019s with ease. Eye opening wine

Very light straw color; the nose is restrained and elegant, slightly floral and spicy among green and red apples, pears, citrus and hint of pineapple and apricots; the taste is dominated by fruit and minerals and sky-high acid levels. This wine should probably lay a few years to allow it all to come together. The producer has been around for 130 years and vinified this wine from hand-picked slightly late-harvested grapes, in steel only.

German Riesling 2004, 12.5%. Excellent color, good nose wit mineral scents. In the mouth it stimulate great salivation, but the acidity is not too aggressive.

Dark yellow in the glass with ripe fruits and a bit of petrol on the nose. Palatte is beautifully balanced with gorgeous notes of honeydew and citrus. Very much enjoyed this wine!

Härligt mogen riesling. Gyllene färg och oljiga fin textur. Medelfyllig. Komplex smakprofil: Honung, ingefära, javaäpple, kardemumma och andra kryddor, bakad citron, chiliolja, aprikos. Mineraligt och torrt avslut.
