Dry, 12% alcohol. Apple blossoms and cold steel. Ripping acidity. Unfiltered. Everything you want in basic, dry Alsace Riesling. #riesling #barmesbuecher #alsace — 6 years ago

Amazingly Chambolle-like. From red clay/limestone of Hengst. Cinnamon, aniseed, floral. As fine as Alsace Pinot can be. #barmesbuecher #pinotnoir #alsace — 8 years ago

Still quite fresh and racy at 20 years old! Restrained, balanced, neither overly oily or overly 'gris'. Decades of life ahead. Carries its RS well & drinks dry. #barmesbuecher #alsace #tokay — 8 years ago

Great tension between racy & creamy elements. Wet stones, orange peel, cream, chervil. Impeccable. #barmesbuecher #pinotblanc — 7 years ago

Iron fist in chainmail glove. Bone dry in '13 (Maxime's first 'solo' vintage). Preserved lemon, dense and oily, super-saline; commanding. Astonishing length and persistence; easily a 25+ year wine. A stallion, indeed. #alsace #barmesbuecher #riesling — 8 years ago

9.4

Fresh & floral. Polished, balanced and quite racy for a wine with 126 grams RS! Peaches, pears. Probably should've declared it SGN. #barmesbuecher #alsace — 8 years ago

9.3

Fresh cream, toast, citrus peel. Rich, but not weird and lactic the way some PBs can be. Fresh, clean, long acid finish. #barmesbuecher #alsace #pinotblanc — 7 years ago

9.2

So solid and complete. Dry, perfectly-balanced, oily, pit fruits, hazelnuts. Nice acidic cut, yet plenty rich. #barmesbuecher #pinotgris #alsace — 8 years ago

And then there was this...absolute perfection. Still fresh, youthful, spicy, massive acidity, aging slowly. Hints of fruity coffee and molasses creeping in. #barmesbuecher #gewürztraminer #alsace — 8 years ago

Not your grandfather's Edelzwicker. Rich, floral (from Muscat, not Gewurz), great texture. Solid acidity and firm mineral core. #barmesbuecher #edelzwicker — 8 years ago
