7 December 2018. The Four Horsemen, Brooklyn, NY. — 7 years ago
An unsuspectingly forward Riesling with a watery pale hay color and shy aromas of orchard fruits, bitter apple seed, and slate. The flavors take a sharp u-turn - fully expressive with off dry but not honeyed notes of red apple and roasted lemon. It finishes cleanly with slate and wet rocks. Really excellent. — 8 years ago

Rad Spätburgunder from the Pfalz; Koehler-Ruprecht never steers me wrong. Bracing and a bit rustic yet still elegant. Pours a medium (-) ruby garnet hue. Benefits from a tiny bit of air before serving but not like, necessary to decant it either. Wild raspberries and strawberries, blood orange peel, fennel seed, woodsy spice and birch bark, mushroomy, forest floor earthiness, and some floral rosehip character on the nose. The palate has more bracing, alpine red berry fruit, woodsy spice, rose floral character, and forest floor, supported by lively, medium (+) to high acid, and medium (-) tannin. Light to medium (-) body. Solid stuff. In a nice place right now, maybe would peak in a couple years but no compelling reason to hold on to it much either. — 9 years ago

Perfect residual sugar / acid balance. Very fresh on the nose with notes of mint, wet stones some petrol. Deep and complex. Amazing showing. — 12 years ago

If you haven’t had a Spätburgunder/Pinot Noir from Germany, particularly from the Pfalz region, it’s about time. There are few wines that over deliver for the money as consistently as these do. On the nose beautiful mushroom and forest floor. On the palate, acidity and minerality, tart cranberries, with some umami. So good. — 5 years ago
