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.

Kirchspiel Riesling GG 2009

Tokyo fried chicken night with 4HHM. had to pop a Riesling and had to pop a Keller for this inaugural feast at WareHome. Kirschpiel is always generous but with some age it gives even more! Yes, some of the tension is gone. But what’s developed is incredible. Petrol nose and deep rich layers of that KP magic. Nothing like it. After an hour the king acid finish arrived and was ethereal. Wish I had a mag. — 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

Rheinhessen Kabinett Scheurebe 2013

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 — 10 years ago

Jean Baptiste Kabinett Riesling 2022

Entry level bottling. On the grapefruit pith & lime spectrum, both on palate & nose. Chew it & the slate & crushed minerals come out more. Drank over two days, with day 2 even better, clearer. On sale for about 13$, so a serious QPR. — 2 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 — 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

Perfect mind blowing life affirming wine. Never had this with age. KP says to drink the 13s now, we drink the 13s now. Very expressive Keller-like fruit with an insanely long mineral finish that lasts minutes. Heavenly. — 3 years ago
