Perhaps something is off with my palate today, but tasting one of the world‘s great rieslings was a massive disappointment. Can’t get past the extraction and the insanely high alcohol that dwarfs the moderate acidity and faint minerality. Highly extracted phenolics. Least disappointing of the lineup, but worst once you factor in price — 5 months ago
This is the Riesling Trocken (dry). Beautiful citrus fruit, lemon curd, hint jasmine and a faint touch of peach as it reaches close to room temp. lacks this wow haven‘t had this before - effect. Some sulfur on the nose which needs to breathe out. Good wine. — 13 days ago

Honey, pears and mellon. Too sweet for my taste. — 3 months ago
This nose has an insane perfume. Spice, smoke, chalk, citrus, mango, tangerine, peach, confectionary and it’s got so much depth and purity. So focused and narrows it’s got lasers. Dense and chewy and unreal saltiness. Smokey as well and just so enveloping. What a finish. Almost tannic. Intensity. Acidity higher than schlossberg and probstey. Less ripe but more depth. So clean. Unreal. — a year ago

Medium light straw with green reflexes . Quite fresh and stony , green apple , light white flowers , hint of petrol , but overall quite strict and closed . On the palate this has high acidity and a stony , green apple and lemon pith, white peach. Quite strict and fine , linear in style . Stony oyster shell , apple peel finish . Very young needs a bit of time to round out . Quite lean but will probably fill out in a few years , quite good saline tinged length. Come back in 5 years, will last well a further 10. — 14 days ago
