Excellent. The 5 years have been good as this has rounded out very nice. Delicious minerality with some white stony fruits, great acid and texture, long finish. — 21 days 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. — 2 years 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

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. — 4 months ago

Great wine from a great vintage. Will improve with more age but already excellent — 9 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.
