Disgorged in 2011 and just baroque, with a quiet mousse and all kinds of honeyed, savory moments. — 11 years ago

Petrol, mineral, golden fruit, note of botrytis. Good acid. Still fresh. Spicy, peppery. Note as baroque as some vintages. — 12 years ago

A wine called the Lady Kisser? Well it didn't disappoint one bit. Rose water, lemon zest, violets, and a back massage all in the first sip of this elegant, romantic piece of true Italian poetry. Grab some dark chocolate, turn your phone off, and go on a date with a bottle of baroque pop, raised eyebrows and bodice ripping, pearl clutching, abandon loving wine. — 13 years ago

andreas gsellmann (meanwhile no "&", despite the headline) traminer, mash fermented.

at first glance kerosinesque and vegetal, highlighted with roses, aniseed, super ripe apricots in colour, smell & taste and ringletted / -skin. aerated less gas station, rounder and more baroque look and feel (which is fantastic in addition with the dry palate!).
after two days in the fridge showing even more complexity as conifer resin, loukoum and so on. . .
high drinkability but not crisp - and mineral driven.

i'm very happy for andreas this not so conventional wine was awarded best traminer at the white wine festival '15.

2011. Interesting this. Trying to hard to be fruity, but ultimately cannot escape the dominant vortex of Gruner's savory side. Definitely ripe at 14.5%, the wine is almost completely botrytis free. Pure, ripe green citrus (kefir, yuzu) as well as a steady tempo mid-line of ripe yellow and green apple, on the fringes lurk stranger tropical notes: pineapple rind, kiwi skin, green banana and green mango. There's that radish-and-lentil savoriness, shiso, fresh basil, tarragon. Chinese five spice chimes in (maybe the botrytis?) and pleasant Asprin-like bitterness on the back palate. There's an additional chemical note (SO2-related?) that reminds me of riesling's petrol, but it's really more like if someone had tried to turn the flavor of municipal pool water into a food, like a not unappealing chlorine snack. I know that's really weird, but it's what it made me think of...big without being baroque, and kept together by the acid and bitterness. Not a shy wine. The ambition and quality are obvious, but it's not harmonious at the moment. — 11 years ago

Textbook. Expertly made. I've had more interesting Rieslings at this price point though. Bonus points for the baroque bros on the label. — 11 years ago

So baroque. Like the label. I like this a lot, but man, it's intense. More for the Pfalz-Rheinhessen drinker than the Mosel. Definitely has a few years left in it. It's dry, it's just labeled for another market. — 12 years ago
