This wine gets better every vintage. Just stunning. Color is almost a pinkish hue on this years. Guessing some skin contact but only a little just to get the color as this has no tannin etc. What a nose. Stone fruits, hint of wood, huge minerality that is so clean and smells like some fresh new element. Can’t explain it. So mineral. Just soars yet is straight and direct. Some pink and white flowers as well. Concentrated yet so so elegant with dazzling purity and an intense fruit skin character. Dazzling purity and such focus and linearity. The fruit is so well defined and just stays with you and pushes forward on the palate slowly. Knockout finish. Just a brilliant bottle. I’m sure later in the day it will improve and push my score maybe higher. As it airs the complexity of aromas reaches hypersonic overdrive. Just insane. What a wine. Easily will age 15 years but I imagine in 7-8 it’s really gonna peak. — 5 years ago

Super easy to drink. Very smooth but once it’s gets to the back of the tongue, you notice a slight minerality/tiny bubbles on the front of the tongue. Interesting and good. — 7 years ago

Crunchy, light and invigorating on the palate, the 2016 Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) from Schäfer-Fröhlich shows lemon and pear, with a subtle smoky minerality that blends into a light creaminess at the back. — 7 years ago

What pairs well with changing tires on a beautiful evening? This little gem. Love the golden apple and honey notes with a kick of acid and CO2. — 8 years ago

Could be the perfect chunky fall rose, and the ideal start to an evening in the back yard with a new baby by our side. — 9 years ago

2014 Andreas Laible Weisser Burgunder Kabinett Trocken. Very animated nose. Floral, apply/tart peach, clean stony minerals, talcum powder. Richly fruited in the mouth, super clean, with a pillow-like texture. Not as complex tasting as the nose, but a lot of character. Good acidity. Easy drinking but with benefits. — 9 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! — 6 years ago

This is delicious. Dry but still fruity and gloriously fizzy. I bought it for the stripes and I was not disappointed. — 7 years ago

Sergio Licea

9.7

Strawberries, blood orange rind, watermelon, satsuma mandarins, iron, smoke. Snapping acidity, light bodied, juicy texture, tangy-salty-slightly off dry yet crisp finish. Highly aromatic, at times savory, at times smoky, fruit persists through. Unique, interesting and uncommonly delicious. — 8 years ago

Fresh, juicy, clean with lots of red/black cherry, blackberry and subtle oak note such as cinnamon, nutmeg. A beautiful Zweigelt won't break a bank. — 9 years ago

'Only' an entry level wine from not-so-celebrated variety but this was a joy to drink! Bright acidity is the key here. It needed a bit of time in the glass to open up, though. — 9 years ago
