Vintage 2016 | when I bought this in Germany, I asked how long it would last. The Ahr is not known for Riesling, do not keep it too long, was the answer. Wrong answer, imo. This wine is now delicious with awesome sweet/acidity balance. Great! — a day ago

Vintage 2016 | Brown colour, explosive and fruity smell: mesmerizing! Beautiful balance. I am impressed by this German Pinot Noir that is à Point. Paired with Gougères (cheese puffs made with Gruyère), petit tendre beef and zucchini tarts. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2022 | This is the basic Pinot noir of the cooperation Mayschoss Altenahr in the Ahr, the oldest in the world. Ridiculous price and só lovely, bottled raspberries and elegance. Topwine on a Monday evening after a hard days work. Paired with Cantonese beef with mango, a dish we have been making for 30 years and still makes us ultra happy… — a month ago

Vintage 2006 / Retzstadter Langenberg #Bacchus Kabinett / When I told my tailor Paul I visited winegrowers in Franken, the land of ‘bocksbeutel’ bottles, he said: hold on, went to his office and returned with this bottle. How about this? He asked. I thought: 2006... that wine must me dead, Paul, I am sorry. Well take it with you and see, he told me. I put it in the fridge, looked suspiciously at the screw cap... and opened this #Franken wine a few hours later. Colour of old gold, not bad at all... Sniff, sniff. A smell with hints of tangerine, honey, a rose garden. I looked better at the label and then saw: halbtrocken. And kabinett. That means there is residual sugar in this wine (‘restsüsse’). I sip... and am amazed: it is still correct, more than that: it is a joy to drink! In the smell also citrus, gets better with aeration. How amazing wine can be... grow older... and still be vibrant. Lovely experience. / Bacchus is a crossing of riesling and sylvaner and Müller thurgau. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2019 | needs a few more years in bottle. Elegance with a ‘poopy’ farmyard smell — a month ago

Vintage 2019 | this bottle survived the ‘Hochwasserfluss’ disaster in 2021. Now at home it tastes even better than in July when we were there. Refinement and elegance. — 2 months ago
