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 — a year 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. — 4 years ago

Troken Rheinhessen Riesling 2016

Perhaps still burdened by it’s youth as it’s not overly complex. Admirable it’s it’s purity and precision, but length also falls a bit short. — 5 years ago

Niersteiner Brückchen Kabinett Riesling 2013

Another Riesling from a few days ago. A Terry Theise selection from Rheinhessen. Had this with Indian food. Gorgeous with round feel on the palate but balanced beautifully with the acid. Ripe citrus fruit and stone fruit. Good clean finish. #terrytheise #rheinhessen #rieslingrules #withindianfood — 8 years ago

Niersteiner Paterberg Kabinett Riesling 2018

Who would have thought I like a sweet white wine....not me. But I did! Described as semi-dry. Had very much a sweet edge. But than it turned smoky, earthy, minerally. Evolving depth and complexity. Awesome! — 3 years ago

Very sweet but not too sweet. I had it before dinner so I think it would be better with dessert or cheese, etc. — 5 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. — 5 years ago

This needed some decanting. It could ride a bit more in the cellar. — 8 years ago

I could not have picked a better bottle from the cellar for Chinese cumin lamb and beef/snow peas and hot peppers. Enveloping without being cloying. Love! — 11 years 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 — 2 years ago

Punches far above its weight as expected. Vibrant and racy citrus with impressive texture, weight, and length. All while remaining crystalline and transparent. — 4 years ago

Qvinterra trocken Riesling 2018

Aromatic, mineral, spicy with ripe, honeyed apricots plus a fistful of dried, salty herbs. Precise & pure in the palate with brilliant, juicy acidity, just the right amount of fruit and beautiful minerality.
Brilliant stuff for 12€. Unbeatable price/quality ratio.

Mmmm....Scheurebe. Candied pink grapefruit, ripe pineapple, Rainier cherries, tangerine, white fig, lots of white flowers (especially elderflower and honeysuckle), white mullberry, red papaya. More Spätlese level ripeness here, but super delicious — 9 years ago
