Tart citrus — 6 months ago
After drinking mainly Bordeaux and Rioja over the christmas period this was much lighter. Nose of cherries, raspberries, tar and orange peel. Palate was similar but needed more air to catch up. Elegant and balanced. Paired excellently with roast duck legs, orange sauce and roast potatoes. — 6 months ago
Lovely pithy fruits on the nose. Apricot, nectarine and stunning, wafting minerality. Palate is rich, Rheinhessen rich, but with bracing acidity and just such a generous texture. Showing so well cold and out of the gates. Let’s see what happens when it warms and gets air. Gorgeous wine and so generous with air. — 6 months ago

Just a brilliant brilliant wine. I cannot believe the value here. Nose is just sick. Deep berry, raspberry, cherry, sour cherry, blueberry, woodshop shavings, violets and other florals and so much more. This has so much stuffing it’s crazy. Extraordinary palate that is at once dense and at once nimble. Unreal sweet fruit and unreal, albeit youthful fruit and astonishing length. Crazy intense and brilliant inner mouth aromas and such complexity. Structure to burn and let’s see where we are in a few hours. Wow. — 10 months ago
Garnet medium opacity, bright red fruits, tart cherries, lovely acidity and minerality, excellent Rheinhessen spätburgunder! — 7 months ago
This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.
Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.
Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.
Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.

Last drank 4 mo ago; aromas on this bottle are more intense than my previous notes. Lots of sappy red fruit, dark rose, and a lot of violets. Palate also sappy, with tart acid. Really a fantastic value at around 20 USD. Bought a case; will go well with Thanksgiving dinner. — 9 months ago
