Vintage 2016 - very lightish #spätburgunder with hint of raspberries in smell. “Funkeler” means as much as “tingling”. #mittelrhein — 6 years ago

Vintage 2015 / irresistable #riesling from #mittelrhein / with French ‘crudité’ salad — 6 years ago
Vintage 2015 - I think I must leave this in the cellar longer, but how to do this when the wine is só lovely now 🤔 perfect balance, tempting sweet tones, good acidity under it. #riesling #mittelrhein — 7 years ago
Typical Ratzenberger brilliance. Macadamia, cocoa butter, Queen Anne cherries. Just the slightest hint of slate, flint and sweetness. Mouthcoating, impossibly long, already becoming a haunting sort of thing. Who else can take a hot year and a GG vineyard and make an exceptional feinherb of it? #ratzenberger #mittelrhein #riesling — 6 years ago
1998 vintage. Not as focused and precise as when young but still pretty damn good at 16 years of age. Fraying and getting a bit "cellar-y" around the edges but plenty of sweet/sour citrus cream fruit right down the middle and on the fairly lengthy finish. #riesling #sekt #ratzenberger #mittelrhein — 10 years ago

Peaches, waxy fruits and subtle wet stones. Massive acidity negates whatever RS there is; it simply drinks dry and round. Complete, complex and satisfying. Typical Ratzenberger. #ratzenberger #riesling #mittelrhein — 6 years ago
