Just a monster. So dense and complex. Unreal density. I mean this is the densest Riesling I have had all year. Yet so fine. Unreal structure. This reminds me of Jadis 2012. Unreal. Unreal. The finish is a mineral blast to end all mineral blasts. — 8 days ago

Nose is elegant tropical flowers. WOW. A hint of finely crushed minerals.

Palate is peach and apricot nectar. So clean. So perfect. Mountain stream. Perfect acidic balance.

There is something indescribably brilliant about this. It’s hard to put into words. When you first sip it, it has this delicious vibrancy. As it site in the palate, there is this shimmering quality. Mountain stream with minerals. An echo of pink grapefruit. It’s all just so balanced and well made and vibrant. Density is good but not elite but even so this is a masterpiece. Ok. Some elegant richness as it opens.

Nose: white and yellow flowers. Lovely coiled richness as it opens.

Hmm. I think the price of this is causing me to underscore this. The nose is exquisite after it opens. Really sick.

.375ml bottle. Might have got swamped by several previous bottles, including an aged spatlese, making it taste more simple than it really is. Has laser intensity to its goldenrod, marigold Apple & crème brûlée palate. Under 20$ too. — a year ago

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of hibiscus, cloves, and raspberries; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of red plum, maraschino cherries, and fresh asphalt with a medium finish. This wine is complex and intense with balanced fruit and structure. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — a month ago

Very nice spatlese. Very expressive on the nose, great acid and a lengthy mineral finish that sticks on the palate for a long while. Sweetness is well balanced. Perhaps lacks a bit of extra oomph but delicious. — 4 months ago

Nose: bright. Lovely. White and yellow flowers. Pink grapefruit.

Palate: on the sweet side. Nice peach. Solid. Mountain stream. Sort of lovely if not not brilliant.
