David at Vinous nailed the tasting notes (tasted 2016):

"A faintly fungal note accents apple jelly, glazed pineapple, candied grapefruit rind and caramel on the nose, leading to a colorfully complex but rather opaque as well as decidedly confectionery palate impression. The finish is forcefully sustained but lacks the primary juiciness and salinity that might have leavened the wine’s sheer thickness and overcome slightly rough and unruly manifestations of botrytis."

TDN is certainly more pronounced now, but the part on botrytis was bang on. The wine could do better with a little less/cleaner bot, but I guess it is a true representation of the vintage - 2014 was marred with bot issues. In the words of Helmut, "this one was picked out from the Spätlese material on a table by my top harvest brigade. We’ve had lovelier Auslesen, but when it’s constantly humid, you get negative infection and can’t expect more than this.” On the bright side, the minerality of the site still shines through and when paired with some baked pears drizzled in honey...

Hands down the best site in Nahe. Sandstone, volcanic debris and then slate. Crystalline. Resonant. Helmut and Cornelius form the dream team. — 9 years ago

What an interesting wine, a varietal I've never had before, reminiscent of overripe Chenin from Loire, but the acidity is quite persistent. There is definitely a high RS though. — 9 years ago

Nice and aromatisch, great blend of pinot gris and pinot blanc. Super bright acidity. Bitter almond finish with slight sparkling feel on the end of the palat. Danke Rainer, sehr gut und geil. — 9 years ago
