Amazing Austrian Riesling. Refreshing, somewhat on the bitter side. — 5 years ago

Recent reviews by some on CT had me curious about how these were evolving so I had to check in myself and personally assess, you know, for science. Popped and poured; consumed over three days. The first day was OTT with red fruit and spices...but mostly the fruit. The spices, really sort of a one-note black pepper bomb, pricking the tongue, perhaps giving a glimpse of something more interesting if patience was exercised. Super clean with no signs of brett. I was almost taken aback because this was coming across rather ham fisted and definitely an outlier for Pegaü. I say almost. Two days later, I revisited the remaining half of the bottle and that’s when things really started to show off. Chewy red and black fruits were still very much in abundance but they were now more delineated and showing somewhat grainy tannins which seems much more pronounced now than they were on the first night. Think the texture of eating a mouthful of brambles. The spices that were teasing on the first night were stepping up to play a more pronounced role taking on more of a black licorice character with some lovely garrigue. Sound structure...though perhaps not as impressive as the 2016 Cuvée Réservée. Long, lip smacking finish though...and really delivering the goods! Based off this experience, I would imagine the best is yet to come for the 2015 Pegaü. If you’re drinking on the pop and pour, prepare for disappointment. These could use some time. I look forward to revisiting in 2025 and beyond. — 6 years ago
A touch of grapefruit, some apricot & green apple, loads of herbs. On the palate with great depth & good structure, with nice weight, juicy acidity and an elegant, long finish. This is good stuff! — 7 years ago
The warmth of the evening sun on the South faced slope... prunes, figs, oppulent perfume and just a deep glass in the late evening sun ... — 9 years ago

A lovely pale pink color. Nose has light berry/citrus/floral qualities. Palate is well balanced, light mineral, orange peel/rind with a Clementine-like finish that just continues... So good and in a nice spot today, from 1500ml, impressive bottle design, it's a standout. — 8 years ago
Compared to my first impression I had when I tasted this boy back in November last year for the first time, the oak appears a bit more present, especially on the palate. Curious to see if & how it will integrates over the next years. Nevertheless a cool, focused Chardonnay which is definitely one of the best examples of this grape variety out of Germany. — 9 years ago
I really need to stop storing whites in my food fridge when they seem to always open once reaching a cellar temp. Here's a fun little field blend that takes to warming well. Chardonnay, Weissburgunder, Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner and Riesling. What I'd call a silver-skinned nose - green herbal scents mixed into flint and smoke. A little bit of texture and bite, interplay of high acid and cream. Lands nicely with apples, pears, kumquat, and starfruit and that little bite which I love. — 4 years ago
17/20 (92/100) Приятный и элегантный аромат с нотами яблок, груш, малины и апельсинов, а также жареного ореха. Умеренная тельность и довольно высокая кислотность. Мягкое и свежее во вкусе. Отличный Прованс! — 6 years ago
I thought this was one of rhe best German pinots I tasted at a recent wine club meeting focused on German wines. — 7 years ago
Groß, stoffig, ausgeprägtes Holz, schöne präsente Säure. Wirkt auch alkoholisch... — 8 years ago
Impressive concentration and depth, roses on the nose, great acid, really well made wine from an apparently a killer vintage in Baden, and an amazing producer. This is the real deal folks — 9 years ago

Domaine Jean-Marc Bernhard Alsace Grand Cru Riesling ‘Wineck-Schlossberg’ 2019: Light-bodied. Vibrant acidity. Refreshing taste. Classic Riesling nose with palate flavors of apple, apricot, lemon & minerals. Lovely off-dry finish. All in all, a clean & bright Alsace Riesling; very pleasant, very versatile, good value. Happy Saturday to all! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago
