Alsheimer Spätburgunder 2015

Slighty better wine now (see my old notes) - First flat after 1 hour it shows. Elegant could benefit from a little more fruit. OK but not wow. For some reason her Pinots have not won me over. Certainly not Enderle & Moll level! — 5 months ago

So so intense, clean mineral lines & voluminous on palate-tasted blind my friend thought Chardonnay. 50 shades of apricot, a squeeze of petrol at end of long finish. Enough padding to be also Uber enjoyable. — a year ago

Kirchenstück Riesling 2018

Could smell this out of the bottle directly after popping the cork! Lemon, petrol, smoke and crushed stones. Palatte was all about minerality for me with light tones of ripe melon. Salty finish with perfectly balanced acidity. Cracking wine — 3 years ago

J2 Gau-Odernheimer Spätburgunder 2015

Reminiscent of good quality Chambolle with a touch more flesh and pliancy. This is stupid good for the price, when I’m old I’ll be bitching about how cheap this was back in the day. High toned, crunchy, deeply earthy and loaded with ripe red/black fruit. The finesse is there. Black cherry, wild strawberry, rhubarb compote, black tea, wildflowers, wet leaves, undergrowth, spice. Again, the elegance coupled with the perfume and harmony this carries really delivers. — 7 years ago

Bürgel Spätburgunder 2015

Rounding off a Keller themed weekend with the 2015 Bürgel. Hands down the best bottle I've drunk of this! Proper high end quality with depth and concentration for days...held together by succulent acidity. Such an impressive wine!!! — 6 months ago

Aulerde Großes Gewächs Riesling 2019

Neus: Aroma’s van rijpe perzik, abrikoos, en een vleugje citrus, met subtiele tonen van honing en natte steen.

Smaak: Vol en weelderig, met sappige fruittonen en een aangename zuurgraad die de wijn levendig maakt. De mineraliteit geeft diepte en complexiteit.

Afdronk: Lang, met een harmonieuze combinatie van fruit en terroir.

Trocken Riesling 2022

Pear, citron, lemon zest, white flowers, chalk. This is inviting. The palate is acid driven, with ripe pear notes all along, some citrusy touches, a good width, some grip in the rear and a long, fresh, peary and citrusy finish with that chalky touch. It's simple but greatly executed — 10 months ago

Saulheimer Hölle Trocken Spätburgunder 2020

Nose: midseason cherries. Spice. Maybe cloves.

With air some savoriness, lilacs. More Burgundian.

Palate : sweet midseason cherries. Hint of licorice. Bracing acidity.

In an odd place now. Not showing it’s usual exuberance. Let’s see where it goes.

A perfume. All the better wines have a perfume in 2022. Persimmon. grapefruit, cardamom, clove, spice. Herbals. Stunning. Ripe but juuuuust ripe. That is a winner. 9.7 nose. Wow. acidity. Just an exciting vintage and what depth. Good dry extract. Long and so elegant. Edgy wine. Gorgeous and so pure. Such energy. So long. Stunning. Light and yet so dense. Really nothing like it. — 3 years ago

What a wine. Genius. Brilliant. But that’s 2019. Insane nose of honeysuckle, caramel nougat, spice, mineral, confectionary notes, apricot, peach skin and superb head spinning mineralIty. What a palate. Elegant, spicy, tons of apricot and peach skin, and so juicy and energetic. Pure and sappy. So nimble but also has energy and substance for days. Citrus, marmalade flavors develop after some minutes. Juicy and so clean. Unreal. So pure. Sappy and dense. Balanced and long. This has serious stuffing. What a wine. Perfect ripeness balanced with scintillating minerality and energy. Chewy. Wonderful. After some air one gets lost in the nose and aroma. Dizzying. The best honeyed aromas. Pitted fruits now and more incisive minerality. So long. A stunner. — 5 years ago
