Big nose. Creamy and ripe. Superb slate and so fine and refined. But also wide open and expansive. Yellow fruits and such fine and dense minerality. Palate is ripe and elegant. Chewy and rich but also fresh and mineral and long. Gets to every nook and cranny. Maybe a feinherb style? Huge mid palate and so elegant but precise and wide open. There is a hidden density here. Love the extra RS which makes this so sexy and drinkable. Breathtaking nose now. Much more mineral and less creamy and ripe. Needed that ripeness to blow off. I love slate. Can never get enough. Terrific concentration. Lacks the depth of the GG’s.

Now after 10 hours this is such a beauty. 9.4 to 9.5. Nose more integrated and palate is a work of art. Juicy, creamy, energetic and so concentrated. Mouthwatering. — 2 years ago

Nose is so classic. Huge minerals and rocks. Almost no fruit. Maybe a hint of lime blossom. Really earthy as well. This smells like it was grown in dirt. Lemon. Some pink grapefruit pith. Palate is silky and so dry and focused on minerals and barely any fruit. Elegant and juicy with insane precision. Really high acid and just a driving mineral force and really long. So so good. This is one of the most essential Steinmetz wines. — 6 months ago

DAY1
Served with Vinloq System
👃Chalky with apples, smoke, petrol and wet pavement
👅White fruits with smoke. Fresh. Nice depth of flavors. Teeth cleaning acidity. Just the right kabinett sweetness. Nice lift. Impressive

Stored in fridge with Vinloq Preservation

DAY25
The nose is slightly funky and largely fruitless. The fruit arrives on the palate. The combination works nicely. Finishes with a candied sweetness that turns dry on the tongue.

Resembles Julian Haart’s Ohligsberg in style and that is a very good thing🙌
My first Max Kilburg wine will not be my last☝️

It felt like a kiss. When it hit me. And yes; with Riesling as a discipline, it feels good most every time. So much purity and density — 9 months ago

There is some RS here adds texture to the wine along with uplifting acidity and layers of grooviness — a year ago
