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. — 6 years ago

Huge fan of Weissburgunder of late, more so than the "Pinot Blanc" that I have had from Alsace or Oregon. The minerality and precision that this grape gives you in the right terroir and dutiful hands that don't do too much is enlightening! #weissburgunder #wine — 10 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

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

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

Ayako m'a dit "tu connais ce vin, mais goûte".
Ok... Toujours aussi bien, ce sauvignon blanc d'Andreas Tscheppe. C'est minéral, carré, du vin sérieux, bien dégagé derrière les oreilles, autrichien, quoi. "Il est vif, hein ? Pourtant, j'ai ouvert la bouteille il y a un mois !"...
Ne sauvignonne pas du tout. — 10 years ago

intenso di profumi di fiori e frutta, la pera soprattutto, grande freschezza che rimbalza per tutta la bocca, un gran corpo per un bianco, una bella struttura è un discreto equilibrio per quanto un vino così possa essere equilibrato, lungo nel finale con un retrogusto di mandorle fresche — 10 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

Green Muscat from Austria. This is the first time I've had this varietal. Very unique nose of soap stone. Really enjoyed this wine. Kudos to Dr Carney. — 9 years ago

One day I'm going to qualify in my mind how Laibel is different than producers from other, more exalted Riesling regions. For now, the best I can do is to say that the Klingelberger is to a dry wine from the Wonnegau as a great and classic Chablis is to a wine from Puligny or Chassagne. It's really a quiet sort of excellence and a subtle beauty. — 9 years ago

Alpine Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Petit Manseng? Super cool and surprising. Nice palate weight from the Chard, nervy herbal tension from the PB and PM. Captivating. Thanks @Patrick Ballow #OliverMcCrum — 10 years ago

I was really surprised by this wine. At first the fruit was very upfront but gets better after some time in the glass. Very strong & powerful on the mid-palate. Nice lush, sour cherry finish. — 11 years ago
