Depth, stingy lime, mango — 9 years ago
Soft spice, very round and juicy. Pretty apple, pear and melon nuances. Hints of vanilla, butter and chalk.
Just a pinch too much alcohol in the finish.
Ah well.
Cheers anyway.

2017 Weingut Dr. Heger - Ihringer Winklerberg ‘Rappenecker’ Weissburgunder Grosses Gewächs — 4 years ago
Richer, denser, with more weight yet still very fresh, very fine and with loads of character.
Cherries & cranberries galore with touch of undergrowth, mushrooms and herby spice.
On the palate this is not that light, with slightly chewy yet very juicy tannins, brilliant acidity, a tea like mouthfeel. Complex, layered, elegant. This is quite exceptional! — 6 years ago
Absolutely beautiful straight out the bottle. Drinks like a vintage PC burgundy. So elegant. Perfect Spat for me! Unfortunately such limited quality.. — 8 years ago
Loving this tonight!! — 9 years ago
Mineral-forward aromas... limestone... and a little citrus pith. Bright acidity, crisp yellow apple and lemon peel, lingering minerals. — 5 years ago
Yummy, a great German! Being German I am not a big fan of German wines but this one was great. — 5 years ago
A little bit more refined than the ‘15, or maybe just a little bit more crushable in its youth? — 8 years ago
Tart strawberry and cranberry, decaying autumnal leaf, forest floor, touch of beef meatiness, bit of pipe smoke.
Med + acid, mod- tannin, mod alcohol. — 9 years ago
Rivaner, SB, weissburgunder, Riesling and muscateller- it's wacky! Like an everlasting gobstopper, flavor changes with each sip. Speaks to my inner wine geek. — 9 years ago

My parents come from the ABC generation so convincing them to try a german chardonnay wasn't easy...this wont be a problem in the future! Getting your hands on this wine is becoming increasingly difficult and you can see why. A beautiful wine with depth and balance, precision and expertise that will only improve with time. Truly a classic under german wines — 2 years ago
