This is in a great place as 14’s across Germany are drinking great. Nose of honeysuckle, melon, apricot, lime zest, stunning and vast minerality and whiffs of limestone. Wow, palate is wonderful, textured, barely fleshy and focused with fleshy/pithy apricot and peach fruit. Laser focused and lovely minerality. Sappy and mouthwatering. Lovely concentration and super intense minerality. 60% minerals and 40% fruit. Love it.

Haven’t had a 14 GG in a minute. Big limestone nose, some honeysuckle, lime zest, very mineral. Smoke, leather, really wide wide open. Luscious peach pith. Great nose. Palate is big and chewy and obviously young with tangy citrus, terrific fruit impact and precision and lovely purity like a mountain stream. Big and dense like Hergott is and extraordinarily juicy and piquant. Terrific concentration and density. Finish does not quit.

Obviously warmer and riper than the Frauenberg but just as great. Very deep and intense aromas. Palate is bigger and more dramatic than the Frauenberg. Concentrated and lots of pithy fleshy stone fruits. Long and deep and serious structure!
