Generous nose of petrol & orchard fruit, cotton candy, quite decadent… some slate & Earth driven elements leading to equally impressive mid palate w/same orchard - all ripe and tinged w/powdered sugar. Round in the Mosel style, silky lithe yet zippy leading to finish w/just a hint of RS. In the pocket now — a year ago

Stunning wine. Lime zest, lime flesh, slate and even a hint of petrol which is odd for such a young GG but it still has the aroma of youth. Palate is all elegance and angles. Gorgeous texture and juiciness and wonderful freshness. Glides like a snowboarder on fresh powder. Needs to open up on the finish but it’s all there. Gorgeous lime, peach and even grapefruit. Sweet red grapefruit. Awesome acidity and it’s got remarkable clarity. A day later this is really coming into its own. Nose is so Mosel. Just textbook. Slate, Rain. Like a scene in nature. Lime oil. Palate is round, energetic and has a super tangy grapefruit inflected finish. Genius wine but does need age. — 2 months ago
Deep amber colour, complex aromas of dried fruit, apricot, mango, saffron and honey. Less sweet than expected, was probably a lot sweeter in its youth. — 2 years ago
strong kerosene and slight floral notes on the nose with a palate consisting mostly of green apple and lime. very delicious — 4 years ago

Amazing how long lived these 01 Rieslings are. Honey, slate and lemon citrus, straw, with terrific balance. — 7 days ago
