In the presence of the 17' Schönleber AdL, there should not have been another riesling that outclassed it during the night... But then this appeared. Young as it may be, KP's Hipping approaches perfection. Dumbfounding!
I think Jean and David at MFW described this perfectly, so I'll just leave it here:
This 2017er Niersteiner Hipping GG delivers a beautiful nose where reductive elements including minty herbs, smoke, bacon and needle provide the frame for some glorious scents of grapefruit, tangerine, candied lime, fresh almond and coconut. The wine has the purity and lightness of mountain water yet its complexity and density on the mid-palate are just stunning. One can feel the intensity from the high levels of dry extracts but these are magnificently wrapped into spicy and salty elements. The length and impact in the finish are stunning. The after-taste seems to last for minutes. The wine is almost painfully dry at this stage, but the sheer freshness, intensity and complexity are simply breathtaking. This grandiose expression of dry Riesling may well turn into wine perfection in a decade: It is THAT impressive! — 7 years ago

This is just outstanding. Salty long burn. Will only get better. Unfortunately not a lot available. Still affordable. — 8 years ago
Light, smooth, and sweet. Our favorite wine! We like to enjoy it chilled :) — 10 years ago
Creamy and smooth but modestly sour with rich flavor. Very refreshing sour. — 11 years ago
Awesome example of a more terroir focused zinfandel. Fruity and juicy on the nose but restrained. Very fruit forward of the palate but not at all jammy. Nice earth and tannins to balance the fruit. Great long and gentile finish. — 12 years ago
Refreshing. Paired well with Caldo Verde. — 13 years ago

Pretty - floral, strawberries and cherries with nice freshness & length, linearly carrying some spice underneath. — 7 years ago

Incredible experience. This lightly sparkling Pinot/ Blauer Portugieser is a revelation. Being German, I didn't even know something like this exists. Mind blowing. — 9 years ago

Aroma of honey, oak, and lime. Taste of tangerines, a touch of bitterness and mineral. Smooth and round with a hint of sweetness. Lingering bitterness and alcohol show up in the aftertaste. — 11 years ago

Moore B tasting of Germans. A terrific wine of a varietal new to me. Lively with a sense of weightlessness that’s intriguing, playful texture too. — 3 years ago
