Very nice. Has that great tension you always hope to see in Riesling. Quite a ripe nose. Great body and acid. Just that hint of sweetness, more a suggestion than a presence. — 8 months ago

Wow.

Nose is “outrageous” dense. Umami. Complex. Wow.

Palate: rich but balanced. Dense but bright. Awesome.

As this opens fucktastic brininess. — 2 years ago

Wonderful. Bitter, acid, sea air, so nice. More later. After a day open this is strutting with oodles of finesse and acid. Really long and refreshing. Outstanding. — 3 years ago

Superb showing. Energetic and wide open. Tangy and long. Crisp and juicy with a lovely honeyed nougat element throughout. Awesome 2020 icing texture and awesome purity. Long, chiseled and deep. — 3 years ago

Superb. A little floral on the nose. Immediate diesel which is strange but then controlled and bags of mineral — at 3 pavaru restorans Riga — 3 months ago

Well German Chard easily beats the French white Burgh counterparts on a complexity/price ratio! Just a few are „In the know“ and the wines are stupid cheap for what they offer - good for me! The only quality importer is Lyle Fass. This wine is quite rare. Already turning dark yellow in the glass.
Stinky on the nose which blows off. Very complex. Tons of stuffing! May be even too rich? Great now but can go 5+ years. Lemon, complex citrus, lemon curd, rich. A ton of character! Touch of wood. Burned Hazelnuts. Very classy and special „I wish you where here…“ Will run this through my self-built (high quality) Argon line not the BS stuff wine shops have - and drink throughout the week in small increments. Even better than previously tested. I will make a case in point and will sample more German Chards for - all of you guys out there in 2026. May be importers will take notice. — 8 months ago

Lights out. Huge nose. Spice, caramel, nougat, minerals, so so special. Wow. Rich, energetic and textured palate with unreal flavor intensity. The best Mölsheim ever. — 3 years ago

Killer nose of limestone, lime zest, some light butter and some light oak. So well done. Nose is so expressive. Palate is rich, ripe, textured and so clean with lovely sweet lime fruit and tremendous balance and purity. Nose has some nice sweaty elements as well. Unreal how clean this is. Stunningly pure. Not too complex but hits the right notes perfectly. — 3 years ago

Medium light lemon yellow. Quite open and fruited at first with pear , quince , white flowers, then after a while slightly smoky , chalky , wet stones . On the palate this is strict and mineral , much more so than the nose indicates. Green apple , pear and quince , lemon peel. Quite refreshing , sharp acidity , good wet stone , grafite , green apple tinged finish. Young needs another few years and will last well another decade maybe longer . — 8 months ago

This has aged fine but not really gained much. Which is fine.

Lovely elegance. Ok. Maybe has some aged Riesling aspect.

Lovely to drink. Glad this got lost in the cellar. — a year ago

The nose on this wine is magnificent, so beautifully funky and barnyardy, in the best of ways. On the palate, a true German Spatburgunder, lighter in color and mouth feel than a Burgundian Pinot Noir. I’m sure this will only get better with time. — a year ago

Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.

Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.

Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.

Flowery with orchard fruit, rounded, enticing. Gorgeous nose.
On the palate rounder, a bit fuller with riper fruit - a touch exotic. So elegant, so poised, so juicy. A seducer & crowd pleaser. Year in, year out - never disappoints!
One my usual favs! — 3 years ago

More notes soon. A freak show!

Day 2 notes. Lychee, ripe grapefruit, vanilla extract and chamomile tea. Palate is rich, juicy and has cake icing texture. Super fruity but also fresh. Acid is not awful. 9.4 to 9.5 overnight. — 3 years ago
