No formal notes. Love 2020. So classic and mineral. Huge wet earth nose that developed into a mineral nose with crystalline purity. Palate is round and electric at the same time. Some fruit but more mineral driven — 2 years 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. — 2 months ago

Great wine from a great vintage. Will improve with more age but already excellent — 7 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. — 2 years ago

Outstanding! More minerality and longer in the palate then the Kühling-Gillot. Curious to drink it young once! — 5 months 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.

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. — 2 years ago
