Always such a stunning aroma. Herbal, vegetables, huge aromas and so precise. So juicy and what acidity. This is a stunning version. So juicy and so fresh. Linear and unreal clarity. What a brilliant version. — 3 years ago

Outrageous showing. Confectionary nose of sugar snap peas, sweet pink celery, herbs, some apricot and just awesome, forceful driving minerality. Palate is super elegant, super juicy and just so super delicious. Amazingly pure and balanced and so so clean. Slips, slides and glides on the palate. Exceptional minerality that is alive and super cleansing. Just on point. — 4 years ago

Durbacher Plauelrain Klingelberger Trocken Riesling 2018

9.7

A genius Klingelberger. What a nose. So floral. Flower shop levels. Little shop of insane dry Riesling. Gorgeous Mosel like fruit. Smells ripe and sweet but also bone dry. Green apples. Pear. Apricot. So vivid and detailed. Just wonderful. Lime blossom, sweet lime. Endless aromas. Fresh field level 10. But also rock quarry. Staggering young Klingelberger aromas. Palate is epic like a Norwegian Viking documentary epic. Dense, structured, deep man is this deep with just stunning purity and freshness. So vivid and so detailed. This is god level balance. So long. Never ends. The purity of this wine is just incredible. Amazing finesse and elegance and screamingly mineral and very very complex on the finish. This is a staggering young Klingelberger. 9.7. Yup. Just genius. Amazing concentration and depth. Really I can’t get over how good this is. — 5 years ago

Angel Durst Riesling Sylvaner 2018

Lots of minerals on the nose. Petrol, some typical Riesling fruit and sweet perfume leading to an expectation of off dry. But it has a light body and is quite pleasantly dry and very lively. Sprightly. Medium finish. — 6 years ago

Durbacher Plauelrain Klingelberger Spätlese Trocken Riesling 2016

Man I love laible. Totally laible but has a hint of tropicality bc of the vintage. Maybe a bit more hedonistic and less cerebral than usual. Still has that acidity and minerality. What a terrific producer. Bought from fass selections. — 6 years ago

Kerner 2014

Breaktime from Xmas shopping with a refreshing lift from the Isarco Valley. Kerner is a personal favorite. With its lilting crisp acidity, white florals, honey, slate, and ripe green apple. Tiny bit of flabbiness which I'll chalk up to a bad vintage but makes up for it with a reasonably long finish. — 9 years ago

Really impressed with this for $20. Floral, aromatic nose. Certainly orange in the glass. Full bodied with a touch of tannin. Earth, and a distinct bergamot note. Great on its own but would be great with grilled chicken or prawns. — 6 years ago

Andreas Polish Hill River Shiraz 1997

1997 vintage. Very special. Fragrant on the nose - stewed fruit, dried herbs - a bit like a pot pouri. Smooth in the mouth, not too tanic. Excellent — 7 years ago
