Saulheimer Kalkstein Riesling

So so intense, clean mineral lines & voluminous on palate-tasted blind my friend thought Chardonnay. 50 shades of apricot, a squeeze of petrol at end of long finish. Enough padding to be also Uber enjoyable.

What a nose. Wow what a complex nose. So many things going on. Smoke, citrus, tangelo, nectarine, peach and apricot. blood citrus, clementine. Wow, a big palate with enveloping mouthfeel. Finishes very mineral. Really grips your cheeks with citrus and mineral. So clear and pure. But this seems like a lemon/lime/citrus fruit profile of the vintage.

Gorgeous nose. Wide open. Confectionary, superb limestone and wet stones. Some green apple and apricot. Palate is structured and intense with lovely apple and apricot fruit. Long, tangy finish. So pure and wonderful. Outrageous value. Good concentration and sap. Excellent balance. Just a great 1er Cru wine.

Wonderfully fragrant wine with lemon pith, apple, minerals galore and some herbs. Really in a terrific window. Palate has great density and is chock full of minerals and the acid is wonderful and vibrant. Lovely length and purity. Flavors are mostly lemon and apple on the palate. Nose has just the slightest hint of petrol. Really great stuff and drinking at its apogee.

Best Kalkstein ever. Amazing acidity. Huge minerals. So perfect. Amazing nose of lemon, sponti and huge huge minerals. Inner mouth aromas. So much energy. Lemony acidity. So long. This is the value play. So so long.

Hugely deep and expressive nose. Lemon, minerals,limestone. Lime zest and lime flesh. Lovely fresh and dried herbs. Super complex. Interesting note of chalkiness. Wow. That’s a 9.3/9.4 nose. Just sickness. Terrific palate. Superb concentration and freshness. Crunchy minerals. Superb texture and density but being nimble and light as a feather. Long, massively mineral finish. The minerality here is compelling. Really long. Wonderful wine and value. Terrific intensity. This is exactly the way a baby GG should be. Superb structure for short term aging but how can one resist?

Nose is all minerals. Like forest air. I love that. Palate is elegant, complex and crunchy as all can. High acidity and lovely freshness and finesse. Long finish gets some pitted apricot and peach flavors. Beautiful texture and mouthfeel. Like you’re sucking on a pit. What an overachiever this is.

Terrific nose. Gorgeous fruit. Mineral. Melon, ripe apricot, amazing airiness and salinity. Palate is wide open. Crunchy minerals and fruit. Elegant and very pure with lovely citrus fruit. So clean.

I love this Ortsweine. Almost a GG like nose. Complex stones, citrus and stunning fresh air minerality. Gorgeous confectionary aromas. Palate is huge Meyer lemon and lime with insane pithiness and juiciness and just terrific minerality, precision and depth. Awesome texture and crunch and complex minerals on the finish.

Great nose. Confectionary Rheinhessen, White cherries, beautiful clear minerality. Complex with an amazing mouthfeel. Crunchy and long. Roundness but it doesn’t take away from the acid and structure. It’s harmonious.
