Lime skin, peach, salt, gunflint, liquified slate and apple only begin to describe the deep aromas and long flavors in this kaleidoscopic Riesling wine. Freakishly balanced with body, flavor, intensity and elegance. Year in and year out this is my favorite Riesling. #weil #rheingau #erstesgewachs #grafenberg #kiedrich — 9 years ago

1959 Auslese for how much?! There is something truly unique and precious about a wine that has never left its place of origin... it's what some call provenance.
This now defunct #Rheingau estate was at this time on top of its game and produced some of the finest #Rieslings from #GrandCru vineyard sites in #Eltville and #Kiedrich. Eltviller #Kalbspflicht Riesling #Auslese from Jacob Fischer Erben was so fresh and lively that the closet guess was 1976!
Where else can you find such a phenomenal wine from an awesome year that is pushing 60 years of age for $250 in a restaurant???
NOWHERE!!! #JacobFischerErben #GermanWine #Rieslinglover — 9 years ago
