Perfect on a muggy and unseasonably warm NoVa night. Wafty nose has some yeastiness overlaying deep slatey minerals. Ripe apple fruit with a kiss of white peach. Minerals, ripe fruit, and roundness in the mouth. Deep flavors. The acids seem low at first, but sneakily mount in the finish. Nicely done.

So classically balanced semicolon that it may be most sweet for most American tasters. Shows vibrant yellow and golden fruits, with a distinct off dry entry to the palate. Very good Q but seems a little cloying for my needs this night w brats and a cabbage salad.

Nov 21st, 2022Delicious. Loads of vibrant ripe apple fruit actually veering toward peach. Nice slatey minerality. In the mouth, it’s soft and round-textured on entry, then some minerality comes in but then recedes, leaving lingering notes of pure fruit. Good acids and just a hint of sweetness. Nice aperitif supper.

2008 Bernkasteler #Badstube #Kabinett #feinherb, #Thanisch--a very light and refreshing drink on a balmy fall afternoon sitting on the terrace at the majestic Hotel Krone overlooking the Rhine--apple blossoms & honeysuckle!

One of my favorite Rieslings in the last couple of years. Great acid. On the dryer side. Lots of citrus. But bursts pineapple and tropical fruit. Really well balanced.

Aug 3rd, 2015Restrained nose of ripe yellow fruits and spices. Medium bodied, not very sweet, with pronouced minerality. Hits of grapefruits and herbal bitterness on the almost dry finish.
