Mölsheim Riesling 2020

Meyer lemons, very light yellow peaches, apples, .
Intensely mineral on the palate.
Lots of yellow flowers, soft. Expansive.
Nice companion to a red curry rice bowl.
Delicious stuff. Definitely bigger and richer palate as it airs/warms.

Weingut Keller

von der Fels Rheinhessen Riesling 2018

Fruit, mineral, rich texture with a tempting acidity - nobody does this seemingly contradictory combination as well as Keller. All the things for all times. — 6 years ago

Soter Vineyards

Mineral Springs Ranch Pinot Noir

The consensus among Biblical scholars is that Jesus turned water into pinot noir for his first miracle. This bottle confirms that, even though it doesn’t quite reach the quality served at Cana that fateful day. — 6 years ago

Clos La Néore Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Fabulous. Gold color, citrus and mineral nose. Flavors of citrus, stone, and flowers. Tons of acid and minerals. Complex texture. This is great wine! Drink it if you have a chance and cellar it if you can. One of my favorites. With first of the season Alaska halibut. — 11 years ago

No formal notes. Love 2020. So classic and mineral. Huge wet earth nose that developed into a mineral nose with crystalline purity. Palate is round and electric at the same time. Some fruit but more mineral driven — 3 years ago

Still kicking! Tannins resolved, so silky and soft. Red and dark fruit, baking spice, leather, pine needles, mineral goodness. This is in a great spot. — 6 years ago

Trimbach

Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling

Great pickup by @Steven Perlman during Alsace visit. All about ripping acidity and bone dry mineral and petrol notes with the citrus and orchard fruit now taking on a supporting role with some floral stuff in the mix. Impressive now and should gain complexity — 7 years ago

A classically done wine by a classic producer. This Morgon expression is more on the garden earth/mineral/floral spectrum than the fruit spectrum, which is fine by me. Dense and structured, was singing after an hour in the decanter. — 10 years ago

Domaine Henri Boillot

Clos de la Mouchère Monopole Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Un nez magnifique, incroyable, tellement fin, élégant tout en étant tellement expressif, la bouche a une attaque très ronde, elle est puissante et riche, mais aussi équilibrée, superbe maintenant mais grand vin en devenir. 93-94

Magnificent and gorgeous nose, elegant and classy, layers of white fruit, stony and mineral, the palate is rich, full, intense, yet so classy and balanced, very long finish, great now and with a bright future ahead of it.

Weltner

Hoheleite GG Riesling 2017

I love weltner. love. Love. Love. So underrated bc he’s in Franken.

Nose is screamingly mineral. Some lemon peel. A hint of Grapefruit perfume.

Palate is large sized pebbles. Angular in a good way. Has that hidden density. Pink grapefruit as it opens. Masterful. Masterful.

An hour in sweet rocks on the finish.

Bought from fass selections.

Had this over a year ago, this is a new batch, a Fav! Rodolphe Péters took over the reins of this venerable estate in the southern Côte des Blancs in 2008, becoming the fourth generation to lead since the estate was founded in 1919, under the name Camille Péters. 100% Chardonnay, Crisp, fine mousse with steady flow of bubbles. Citrus, and biscuit aromas. Fresh fruit flavors of peach, apples and lemons, smooth and dry. Long mineral finish ending with elegance. Nice! — 7 years ago
