Like the federspiel riesling-- racy and nuanced. Vibrant but tight. Should develop well in bottle. — 11 years ago

This is in a great place right now, paying dividends for its 7 years in the cellar. It's fashionable to criticize this vintage and complain it's cracking up, but whatever those people are tasting, there's no sign of it whatsoever here. This is still young and crackling with chiseled acidity, the fruit complexion somewhat deepened in tone but still florescent. It combines flavors of pears and more luscious tropical fruits like bananas with a pleasantly bitter, peppery edge. — 11 years ago

2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago
