Krettnacher Altenberg Spätlese Riesling 2014

Laser acidity, but with a lot of depth. Grapefruit, lime, hints of tropical fruit that allude to a sweetness that is totally not there at all. Great length, too. — 8 years ago

Deep golden straw color. Honey, vanilla, flowers and crushed rocks on the nose. Honey and apricot flavors with very light acidity and a great finish. Really enjoyable wine. Paired with grilled swordfish. — 10 years ago

AP 8 Alte Reben Krettnacher Euchariusberg Kabinett Riesling 2019

My first 2019 Falkenstein. Similar to the few Falkenstein’s of previous vintages that I have consumed , the wine’s acidity takes front & center stage . A nose of lime , peaches and stone fruit put a smile on my face. In the mouth a structure that tickles your mouth like a lovers tongue. Just when you think sweetness might take over, the acidity behaves like a boxer who has their opponent on the ropes. A wave of minerals leave a long caressing finish in the mouth. — 5 years ago

Niedermenninger Sonnenberg Trocken Red Wine 2015

Always love these reds by HF. Whites are truly lightning rods but the reds are just as nuanced with laser beam acids. Always feel guilty about drinking these wines because HF, which I believe initially started in 1989 have no back vintages. I would love to find some older HF wines though — 8 years ago

Oberemmler Karslberg Kabinett Riesling 2016

Clear, very pale almost water like. Very shy nose with withdrawn aromas of pomelo, grapefruit, white stone fruit, lemon zest and a strange, fresh goat cheese component which disturbs this clean & fresh picture of the nose a bit. On the palate this Kabinett shows an incredible tension, freshness and wonderful (high), vibrant, balanced acidity. The wine acts on a very dry level. Its an perfect Aperitif. Unbelievable salty finish.
There is quite a little hype in the German wine scene about these wines and already after one bottle I´m a fan too. Very focused, quite and drinkable stuff. Not a "in your face" wine. Elegance is the key-word here.

Bring on the Saar slate. The perfect "exhausted-after-a-long-week," stay at home and order Chinese bottle of Auslese. So light on its feet, definitely more in Spatlese territory by the standards of most other producers... — 13 years ago
