Candied stone fruit, pineapple and vervain on the nose. Appeals fresh & clean, not showing his 11 years of age. Well balanced acid, a bit sweet on the mid-palate. — 10 years ago
super Rheingau Riesling..! — 11 years ago
1959 Auslese for how much?! There is something truly unique and precious about a wine that has never left its place of origin... it's what some call provenance.
This now defunct #Rheingau estate was at this time on top of its game and produced some of the finest #Rieslings from #GrandCru vineyard sites in #Eltville and #Kiedrich. Eltviller #Kalbspflicht Riesling #Auslese from Jacob Fischer Erben was so fresh and lively that the closet guess was 1976!
Where else can you find such a phenomenal wine from an awesome year that is pushing 60 years of age for $250 in a restaurant???

2012 Baron Knyphausen Rheingau Reisling Kabinett. Great winery through wine tasting at the Wiesbaden Marktplatz. — 11 years ago
I had the 2010 Beerenauslese rather than the Auslese in 2015. For me: unbeatable! The first time I am awarding 10 points. A bit of lemon, a bit of apple, a bit of everything. Just the nicest sweet wine I can imagine. — 10 years ago
Lime skin, peach, salt, gunflint, liquified slate and apple only begin to describe the deep aromas and long flavors in this kaleidoscopic Riesling wine. Freakishly balanced with body, flavor, intensity and elegance. Year in and year out this is my favorite Riesling. #weil #rheingau #erstesgewachs #grafenberg #kiedrich — 10 years ago
Great inexpensive Riesling, semi dry, doesn't have much of a acidic taste, soft and fruity, balanced — 11 years ago

This gorgeous wine was flat out AWESOME!!!
I've always liked this vintage and #Weil nailed it was classic examples of balanced #Rieslings from a big ripe, but not too ripe, vintage. This #KiedrichTurmberg was so perfectly integrated between acidity and sweetness that it never came off as top-heavy or cloying in the least--this is AMBROSIA!!! #2009 #RobertWeil #Rheingau #Rieslinglover
