Beautifully aged aromas of petrol, exotic spices, orange peel, and dried mango overlaying honeyed orchard fruits and that classic, unmistakable Mosel slate. Layers unfold as the wine slightly warms in the glass, adding floral notes to the bouquet. Outstanding, lengthy finish. — 6 months ago
From Domestique-had for shrimp boil. Delicious, crisp, a little effervescence. Great with food and to sip $23

Tasted like a Mosel GG. There’s probably some intellectual implication in this statement, but I reckon that best be shared once I’ve had KP’s rendition of this vineyard. The wine comes from one of KP’s parcel in Florsheim that’s farmed and vinified by Julian in Piesport. The opening statement probably roots from the extreme tartness and overall structure of the wine, but I wouldn’t discount the inherent biases of not tasting blind. Opened with an insane nose of ripe stone fruits, pears, white flowers, herbs, camphor, and a very interesting pastry-lke character. Concentrated, long, very tart, and chalky on the palate. It will undoubtedly improve in the cellar, but was already such a joy to drink at this stage. I absolutely adored the wine, but it must be said that the feeling was likely amplified by the fact that it involves some of my favourite vintners in the world - Julian and KP. — 2 years ago
2023 vintage. Mosel Riesling. Labeled as a still white wine, no designation. Pale color. Sweetness balanced with pleasing and lengthy acidity. Fruity Jolly Rancher and beeswax on the nose. Meyer lemon, beeswax, wet slate. Good stuff. Good QPR. — 5 months ago
Citrus, minerality. Great acidity that balances the RS. Delicious. — a year ago
A somm-recommended bottle after being consulted on which vintage might be the most open of the Egon kabi’s, and right he was. The 16’ was singing! Very Egon with the notes cassis, salt/slate, and a touch of cream. Definitely sweeter and richer (less of a classic kabi) than the Haart Ohligsberg Alter Reben kabi, but still very energetic and quaffable. Plus, I can’t look pass how singular these wines are (see notes on the other mentioned wine on a little related rant). — 2 years ago
