Entry level bottling. On the grapefruit pith & lime spectrum, both on palate & nose. Chew it & the slate & crushed minerals come out more. Drank over two days, with day 2 even better, clearer. On sale for about 13$, so a serious QPR. — 2 months ago

Ice wine. Game over baby. The wine shed is clean, only confetti remains on the field, and I the best commercial was Bill Murray in the Jeep Groundhog Day mashup. — 4 years ago

I will buy more of this despite the terrible label. Too much of what I eat pairs well with simple yet focused Riesling. There’s even a touch of petillant. — 3 years ago

I heard something today on IDTT that exemplifies tasting this wine - never explicitly was the term "great" terrior used, but I think it's safe to say that the discussion was about great terrior. A "great" vineyard isn't necessarily better than others in terms of quality... Or even necessarily need to represent the covering GI... but it is "great" because of clarity. It produces a unique expression CONSTANTLY, irrespective of vintage or producer. In short, it speaks precisely of a place... Cliché but truly. And that's Pettenthal! Time and time again I've seen this. With KP, Kai, Gunderloch, Kuhling-Gillot. Pettenthal is great and this wine sealed it for me.

Brought this to blind KP. It was an obvious choice since KP's tiny super plot was once part of FK Schmitt's holdings. Despite the differences with KP's insane 17' auction wine (vintage, style, vineyard size, philosophy), this wine was clearly Pettenthal. That cool and smoky elements that I've learned to associate with the vineyard, fine minerally backbone. Damn! This has to be one of the most tightly focused aged Auslese's I've had in a while. What a pristine bottle - all thanks to Roland's exquisite sourcing skills. Stone fruits, petrol, honey, spice, umami elements. Finish was admittedly one-dimensional. Could be longer. Still, what a lovely #rieslingstudy — 6 years ago
