Importer is Lyle Fass. Not available in Retail. So much Riesling fruit! Quite tropical and rich. Mango, 🥝, Gooseberry. Seems to have a hint of sweetness. Plenty of acid. It’s so overwhelming right now and needs more time to settle down. Grown on granite i think on the slopes of the Black Forest. — 6 years ago

Ridiculous Rhini! What a nose. Red cherries and berries galore. You can smell the density. Gorgeous soil and limestone tones. Unreal expansiveness and so so aromatic. Just a crazy nose that has so much breadth. The clarity, purity and pinosity are off the charts. Palate is tangy and tense and as usual at chez Ziereisen it needs mega air but the structural architecture is there. A very red fruited expression of Pinot which seems to be the new direction this estate’s Pinots are going in which I am here for. Lovely bitter herbals on the nose now. Great freshness and acidity but needs to fill out. It will. I’ll be back. Fruit getting sweeter with air that classic hidden Rhini structure. Now with air the nose is super spicy and complex . Herbal and spicey. Fruit is so much sweeter and is like a squeegee on the palate and clings to the palate. So clean on the backend. Huge quality change on day 2. Nose is denser and cleaner with rich cherry fruits, pine resin, black forest vibes and spice. Wow. A 9.7 nose today. Palate is elegant and dense with that unreal Rhini elegant yet substantial structure and crazy complexity. Big but very very fine tannins. 9.5 to 9.6 overnight. — 6 months ago

Baden. Pinot. Kaiserstuhl. An old vulcano in the rhine valley. GG. Warmest area in Ger. figs grow there. Undertasted, ratet und non existent in the US. A suitcase import. Under imported. And overpriced when they are imported. Bought this for 20 bucks in 2012. Brown tinge. Orange zest nose, brown tinge. In the glass blueberries, bark, touch crushed marble, cardamom, hint turmeric, cherries and black tea. Great juice! Might go back May 2024. — 7 months ago

Richer, denser, with more weight yet still very fresh, very fine and with loads of character.
Cherries & cranberries galore with touch of undergrowth, mushrooms and herby spice.
On the palate this is not that light, with slightly chewy yet very juicy tannins, brilliant acidity, a tea like mouthfeel. Complex, layered, elegant. This is quite exceptional! — 3 years ago

Lovely nose despite deceitfully rich gold color. Pears, smoke, spice, apple skin. Lovely. Some wet stones as well. Palate is textured and ripe but with wonderful juiciness. Great acids and cleanliness. Sappy and pure. Really nice. Complex mineral and acid driven finish. — 6 years ago

Zero fruit on the nose. Mineral. Flinty. Lovely. But it will get more aromatic with age. Palate is filthy good. Amazing balance and presence with superb minerals and purity. So long. It’s just ridiculously great. — 5 years ago

I really really really heart Laible. Huge nose of lanolin, white flowers, clean sea salt and minerals upon minerals. A showstopper of a nose. Terrific palate with waves of pure fruit buffered by serious and intense 2013 acidity. Nobly structured wine needing a decant. Amazing density and complexity even when closed. Brilliant and defines the word expansive. — 9 years ago
