Very impressive in a Pommardian style - also reminded me some Williamette Valley Pinot - had quite a few of the secondary aromas you get from really good Pinot: forest floor, black tea, sassafras, licorice, some subtle spice, mushroom (savory) & copious amounts of cherry/strawberry/rhubarb. Well balanced - light to medium bodied, damn near elegant and really impressive quality vis-a-vis $ — 7 years ago

Knappt drickbar vid öppning. Magisk efter två dagar i kylen. Mogen stenfrukt: persika, päron och lite tropik. Wicked minerality... frisk syra och viss kryddighet som knyter ihop helheten på ett elegant vis. — 7 years ago

Really nice floral and cassis notes. High vis palette. Iron prevails. Underripe blackberry prevails. Minimal tannin. Further aging wouldn’t improve this much. — 8 years ago

På bolaget på Hansa jobbar en glad herre som vi här kan kalla Hans, delvis för att han heter Hans.
Scen: Lite disträ väger jag en Barolo i handen. Hasse uppenbarar sig med en pilemarisk uppsyn.
"Den skall du inte ha", säger han.
"Ja men säg mig då vad jag skall ha, min gode herre", brister jag ut, som om vi bägge befann oss i peripetin i ett klassiskt grekisk drama.
"Du skall denna afton inmundiga detta vin, och du skall i din app notera att det äro gott i din flabb", deklarerar Hans, inte utan ett triumferande leende.
Vis av erfarenhet valde jag att ännu en gång välja den väg som Hans i kraft av sin senioritet stakat ut. Jag ångrar inte detta.

Jag känner mörka bär, rosor, smält smör, salta lakritsbalkar. I flabben stramar det till precis lagom med hint av rosor och lavendel.
Finns en flarra kvar.
Som vanligt lyssnar jag på The End av Nico. Bästa vinprovarplattan. — 9 years ago

As usual, this is the one dry Hexamer wine to perpetuate the tradition of Prädikat, and that is done solely to satisfy the Norwegian importer who takes all of it. (All to one country, yes; but this has become a high-volume cuvée by estate standards.) The fruit comes from the Eisendell as well as from a site known as Grosser Stein for the huge stone that marked the boundary between the holdings of the Rheingrafen (counts) and those of the Disibodenberg monastery. Picked nearly a month earlier than was the highly-impressive 2016, this weighs-in at 11.9% alcohol, and that shows in an attractive sense of levity and spring vis-à-vis Hexamer’s other dry Rieslings of this vintage. Fresh lime, apple, piquant aromas as well as a juicy, crisp-edged and pip-tinged presence on the glossy palate serve for penetrating. Subtly bitter but cooling and stimulating notes of melon rind compound the sense of crunch and piquancy while lovely, bittersweet inner-mouth perfume adds allure. The combination of vivacity and refreshment with floral and mineral intrigue renders the buoyant, bell-clear, seriously-sustained finish next-sip compelling.

Flight 4. Perhaps lost in the shuffle a bit without a distinctive personality vis-a-vis the surrounding wines. On its own with a richer cuisine I’m sure it would be quite nice — 8 years ago
