Killer Nahe spätlese Riesling. Rich, complex, and concentrated, yet remains bright and refreshing. Nose of ripe lime, ripe apricot and mango, clean, wet slate minerality, ginger, some petrol funk, a bit of cherry blossom and beeswax, and some ever-so-subtle Thai basil freshness. The palate shows such pure minerality and fruit, like clean, slate-y nectarine juice, plus a touch of the ginger, beeswax, and Thai basil character that shows up in the nose. Intense, juicy acidity, with a perfect amount of RS. It certainly makes its presence known but not cloying whatsoever. Medium (-) body with great glycerine texture. Kruger-Rumpf wines are always so great, one of my favorite producers in the Nahe. Screams for a nice cheese plate. Would love to try some with some more age on it, I can tell this certainly could develop quite interestingly. — 9 years ago
Toasty aromas with some pear skin. Very clean and crisp with just a hint of unctuousness. — 10 years ago
Still tingles with citric acid on the tip of the tongue, but opens up into a sweet, round, perfumed wine with a big body and viscosity. More grapefruit pith this time than tangerine. Too sweet for me, but a customer looking for sweet would be delighted by the subtlety here. — 10 years ago

Huge South African Shiraz. Deep dark color...deep earthy full mouth feel. Really a great, classic representation of Stellenbosch big reds! Lovely. Reminds me of our time there....makes me long for a bush walk in the veldt of Kruger Park — 10 years ago

Can't recall where I found this bottle, but happy to "rediscover" it deep in my cellar. Honeysuckle and Granny Smith apple still prevalent on the nose. Very nice at 18+ years. — 10 years ago
