@delectable Spater-veit goldtropfchen Riesling trocken

Nose is slate. Citrus flower. White flowers. Quite lovely. Scratch that. Fucking beautiful.

Palate is mineral. Citrus. Crunchy. Minerals made from citrus.

Elite levels of typicity. If I could create a mosel trocken from scratch this is what it would be. You can literally smell mosel slate on this. I love this wine.

Fresh, creamy, almost like a lemongrass lavender candle. Interesting.

Good carbonation. Good sweetness. Good fruit and acidity. Nice and off dry. The kicker that really rounds out a Riesling for me is not just it’s fresh, herb quality, but umami. I think the savoriness in wonderfully working Rieslings is often underrated or overlooked. We’ve got a bit of it here, which rounds out the experience nicely. — 6 years ago

Fragrant, light, and minerally Pinot. Light sappy cherries, warm baking spice , and pungent minerality in the nose. Lean but very flavorful in the mouth. Some cherry fruit, but lots of savory elements and acids. Good length. — 7 years ago

Stunning. Nose has a hint of maturity. Petrol, dry leaves, lemon, apple skin, herbal, insanely complex. Palate has so many minerals. Concentrated, bitter fruits, so mineral. High acid and lovely structure to burn. — 7 years ago

A beautiful wine. Such a luscious texture with smells and flavors of rich tropical fruits and apricots. For $15 a bottle, this wine was an absolute steel! A classic example of how noble Mosel Rieslings are quite the bargain. — 8 years ago

Bright complex acidity, sweetness is there but not overpowering. Quite the treat after Christmas dinner! — 5 years ago

Characteristic petrol & pear bouquet expectant of this appellation.

Pear cider bomb. Perfect salinity dances with flourishes of effervescence.

This is a classic example of what a well-balanced off dry Riesling can accomplish.

Lovely. — 5 years ago

@delectable this is the Piesport Pinot Noir. I don’t know what distinguishes this but it’s not one of their reserve bottles. Still cherry focused, cherry cola. Some blood. Some dried rose and lots of dead leaves. Has developed some secondary notes: plums, cooked and dried fruits. It’s spot on. Good acids. Very fine tannins, very resolved. Not terribly demanding but just right. At this price I wish I could have one per week. The second day it gets plummier and takes on dried, peppery, beefy notes, like drinking magical Coca-Cola. Would be great at wu’s wonton house.

From a site within Goldtropfchen this is an absolute stunner. 2017 sweet wines are 🔥🔥. Huge nose of apricot, minerals, sweet peaches, vulcanized rubber but in that Mosel way. So good. Amazing balance and richness. Like pink grapefruit with sugar on top and then a whiplash acidity, minerality and salinity. My god this is good. So clean and nimble while being intense and rich. The Mosel ballet. Finishes bone fry. Stunning wine. Coming to an inbox near you. — 7 years ago

This is wonderful. Beautifully aged to a nice brick red. Must, earth, wet-leaf and humus, plus violet and wildflower, raspberries and various red fruits on the nose. Silken-light, but still energetic. Some blood-orange zest, clove, star anise, baking spices and culinary herbs too; has an aglianico-like character minus the tannins. Elegant and so easy to drink. — 5 years ago

Not super complex but refreshing. Darker than I expected, in ripeness and on the nose. There’s some blood orange and forest floor and lots of bruised ripe cherries. Slight bit of leather. Blood orange again, vanilla, and pine on the finish. It’s cherry season out there so if everyone wants to keep talking about cherries, go out and follow them throughout the season and cycles of ripeness. There’s some soft but present, fairly fine-grained tannins and a grey stream mineral finish. — 6 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат грушевого варенья, абрикосового джема и яблочных леденцов. Сладкое с довольно высокой, покалывающей язык кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе. Очень хорошо. — 6 years ago

Beautiful nose. Floral, slate, minerals, hint of apricot and peach, palate is to die for, elegant and textured with incredibly focused fruit. More like fruit skin but so precise. Apricot and peach. Terrific freshness, balance and minerality. Delicate mineral finish. Lovely wine. Huge complexity on the finish. A true feinherb in that the sugar only adds a textural element. — 7 years ago

That was good. Simple but sort of deep, with abundant texture and like a velvety mouthfeel. With hausgemacht Teigtaschen mit Salat, it's a fine choice for lunch in Central Europe. Also, andreas likes it ⛸🏔 — 9 years ago
