A Riesling expert but Pinot is not his sweat spot. A middle of the road wine - no edges or anything which would make it of interest. Plummy. Very close to the Black forest in Northern Baden. His Rieslings are inexpensive and stellar. — 25 days ago

Needs an hour of air. Becomes magnificent at that point.

N: white flowers and lemon floor wax. A hint of Passion fruit with air.

P: sweet lemon. Hint of apricot. Mineral. Laible brightness. Not as mineral as the Klingelberger. Very good density. Amazing deliciousness. Long. A great drink.

Wow. These wines can be oaky when young. With some age they are fantastic.

Nose. White flowers.

Palate: bright minerality. So fresh but dense and rich. Delicious. Long. Salty.

German Meursault.

Like a soapy tropical little German Pils from Scheurebe. Grapefruit scented mosaic hops and dank marijuana crystals. Hints of mango and papaya floating in the periphery. A body with some girth and buttercream to yang the ying of acid you couldn't complain about not even for a second. — 4 years ago

Such a serious Scheuerbe. Gorgeous nose. Wild herbs, sweet lime, sage, blackcurrants. High toned and so wild. Aromas in neon lights. Palate is slamming. Concentrated, elegant and densely structured but oh so nimble and super pure. Unreal class and finesse. So stunning and what a finish. Savory and alive. Cannot wait to see what air does. — a month ago

Astonishing how much acidity this has and how fresh it is. Unreal electricity from a so called low acid grape. Andreas Laible says this is a 25+ year wine. Insane structure. Unreal length. Superstar. Nose is pineapple, peach, some elegant VA but the palate is just insane. The quality is through the roof. It’s like 10% Rococo and 90% Laible. What a wine. — 2 months ago

Pale goldenrod yellow;on the nose white flower field, green fig, orange pith. On the palate fairly medium bodied with fantastic orange/ lemon cream popsicle, white grape, hints of those white flowers, yellow zucchini. Oodles of layers & intensity & absolutely beguiling. Kick off to a Columbia County weekend w friends. — 3 years ago

Sanfte aromatik nach südfrüchten, quitte, reifer pfirsich. Homogene mineralik, mittlere säure….angenehm, süffig. Ein ungewöhnlicher riesling mit eigenem charakter. Vermutlich weil er aus Durbach ist ;-) — a month ago

Gummibären on Steroids.
Bone dry 12.5%. with a ton of minerality and good acidity. This German Muskat from the slope of the Black Forest just rocks. Fresh grapes, over the top peach, guava, passionfruit, touch bitter and a surprising amount of tannins. The village where this comes from Durbach is unique since it is typically known for their Rieslings grown on decomposed Granite soils. What an incredible example for this grape. Dare I say we might be blessed that Lyle imports these little known gems? — 2 months ago

So strong and upfront is the nose that calling it a bouquet is an insult; as other notes here attest, hugely floral with all kinds of lime & cardamon accents. On palate quite broad yet detailed, a really interesting blend. — a year ago

Always such a stunning aroma. Herbal, vegetables, huge aromas and so precise. So juicy and what acidity. This is a stunning version. So juicy and so fresh. Linear and unreal clarity. What a brilliant version. — 4 years ago
