Absolutely a grosses gewachs quality wine.

Nose: sweet minerals. Sweet lemon. Intense. Very intense. Minerals are almost savory they are so intense. Lemon flower.

Palate: so delicious. Gods sweet lemon. Crackling minerality. So balanced.

Long finish. Lingering.

Clevner Alte Reben 2022

2nd to last bottle of a long line up in a summer dinner, & showed I thought rather spectacularly between a Petit Chablis & the only red of the night. Paired with local, rich cow cheese- the more vibrant round & traminer- like richness of the varietal came alive as a result. Plus the smoky mineral endive fennel notes made even more clear. Made me rethink how to serve this wine w food, & when. — 3 months ago

Trocken Riesling 2014

Medium gold color. Aromas of orange blossoms, candied citrus and petrol. A bit too sweet for my taste, 11.5% AVB - nice citrus finish, loads of flavor. — 3 years ago

San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir 2012

Has some fight, bite, and spice. Dark persona, firmly structured with a core of sandy salinity, a little weight and tannic tension. Wild sour green strawberries, unripe raspberries, cedar lining.

Reserved, but punchy.

1782 Klingelberger Riesling 2019

Settled in. The exuberant Riesling fruit settled down. I am not sure. Preferred this wine when young. More later. Grown on granite in Durbach a little village on the slope of the black forest. Stonefruit, hint peach, lemon. — 4 months ago

I love this wine but I’ll admit it’s niche. Glorious confectionary nose. Clearly too young, as this wine really sings starting at 10, but whatever, I got too much wine to drink them all at the perfect time. Sweet wood, stone fruits and intense minerality. Some pollen as well on the nose. Such a complex nose. But in 5 years watch out! Palate is so elegant and rich but fresh from the minerals and not the acid which is merely solid. Really coats the tongue. So good. The finish is stone fruits, sweet wood and that rock licking feeling on your tongue. Just a killer Grau because it’s got that Laible magic. — a month ago

Stollenberg Großes Gewächs Erste Lage Riesling 2020

Wow. Like laible on steroids.

Nose: smoky minerals. Like throwing stream water on a hot smooth rock.

Palate : very dense. Intense. Really good. Mineral blast. Perfect lemon.

Lacks the complexity for me to push it into the 9.6+ realm but fantastically delicious.
