Whoa. Grand cru Chardonnay. No question.

Nose: fresh bordier butter. Integrated minerals. White flowers. Lovely.

Palate: lovely bright minerals. So deep. Brilliant green apples. Massive density. Utterly delicious.

An utterly magnificent wine.

This is the Riesling Trocken (dry). Beautiful citrus fruit, lemon curd, hint jasmine and a faint touch of peach as it reaches close to room temp. lacks this wow haven‘t had this before - effect. Some sulfur on the nose which needs to breathe out. Good wine. — 2 months ago

I adore this wine as there is nothing like it in Germany or the wine world at large. One foot in the Cote de Beaune, one foot in Saulheim and one foot somewhere else. Nose is so giving and intense. Some toasty wood, but minerals blaring underneath, and just gorgeous limestone minerality but what stands out is the absolute purity aromatically and on the palate. Seductive and rich but oh my god the purity is out of this world. So fine, so elegant, and so nimble. The combo of richness/decadence and nimbleness allied also the most filigree one can imagine makes this a knockout. This is just profound. Finish is endless and this is at once delicate and rich. This wine is a contradiction that works. This is so elegant, so delicate and the controlled richness is out of this world. — 3 months ago

Kabinett from a grand cru vineyard.

Nose: fresh peach. Yellow flowers.

Palate: fresh peach. Mineral. Amazingly delicious. Mineral crunch. Sick. Delicious. Palate fill. Wow. Balancing pink grapefruit skin.

Yah. Kab is not just about the mosel.

Big time raspberry spice cake. Decadent aromas with gorgeous limestone and complicating aromas of pulverized rock dust. Big jelly donut vibes. Palate is just stunning. Young and a bit inverted but huge chewy depth, raspberry intensity, black cherry intensity and gorgeous, virile tannins. Juicy and so explosive with tiny berry fruit intensity that is a knockout. So complex and juicy and obviously young but in 3-4 hours this will get to 9.8. I know it will. Amazing acidity and it’s insane how much it’s changed since barrel last summer. My god it’s so juicy and decadent. The fruit clarity is off the charts. Unreal purity and density and so so so god damn juicy. — 3 months ago

This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.

Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.

Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.

Last drank 4 mo ago; aromas on this bottle are more intense than my previous notes. Lots of sappy red fruit, dark rose, and a lot of violets. Palate also sappy, with tart acid. Really a fantastic value at around 20 USD. Bought a case; will go well with Thanksgiving dinner. — 2 months ago
