Fantastic wine.. really love The style.. — 7 years ago
Slate, hay, light brie, light honeysuckle on the nose. Peach, fresh lemon, fresh green apple on the palate. Sour lemon drop candy finish on the back palate. I did it. — 8 years ago
Crystalline in structure and amazingly complex. Found this gem on the wine list at Jardinere. It was perfect with the terrine of fois gras. Before we know it the bottle was gone... Duh... I could drink this wine every day and never get bored — 10 years ago
Nice dessert wine to enjoy with a great chocolate dessert. — 10 years ago
Vino da meditazione.... 15 yr old spatlese recommended by Chambers St staff. — 10 years ago
One of my favourite discoveries from Riesling Downunder and I couldn't wait to drink it with friends. Beautiful balance. Rheinhessen generosity, defined peach and nectarine flavours, bit of glaze, soft and correct acidity, breadth and focus. Complete. I love this wine. — 11 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 — 7 years ago

Suitcase spirit from 10 years ago. — 10 years ago
Delicious a little funky. But great acidity with excellent secondary Aromas. — 10 years ago
Artistry. So much much going on but all very subtle. This should trick some good tasters done blind. — 11 years ago
Мощно, химично, кислотности хватает — 9 years ago

Good company while scheduling the entire staff — 11 years ago
