G-Max Rheinhessen Riesling
A great, great G-Max! Doesn’t quite have the breadth and approachability of the 17’ at this stage, but the purity and precision is certainly on par, or perhaps better. The 14’ G-Max was the most filigreed in our little vertical for me - a more elegant iteration where flowers and herbs hit you first, before zesty fruits come through preceding the riper stone fruits; and where intense minerality and deep-cutting acidity take centre stage. This was a dancer that gently floats across the stage, yet her presence is undeniable… the audience enchanted by her fine and complex movements. She’s yet to hit the apogee in the performance yet, but burst of intense manoeuvres preview what is to come. I cannot wait!

Nov 12th, 2022How do you describe perfection. Incredible nose, great depth, almost sweat lots of spices and then a dry taste with great salinity and tons of minerals. Clearly a master piece, thankful to drink a bottle. Sometimes words are not enough, this is one of these cases.
