Floral & quite exotic on the nose with white flowers, orange zest, fresh lime, candied ginger, carmelized peaches. Bit there’s also great purity here.
Amazingly intense & rich in the palate. But also so racy, spicy and mineral. Great balance and depth and the length is just insane! White peach, ripe lime juicy, lemon tart… there’s a bit of shortbread roundness on the midpalate, with the finish very linear, mineral, rocky & salty.
More in the sweeter side, which is unsurprising with the warm vintage. Sooo drinkable, though! Gorgeous stuff!

Fruit forward with apple and lime, with honey and petrol. Waxy, concentrated, vibrant, and long. Excellent! — a year ago
Excellent quality / price. 8 years later it seems to be at its peak, round and mellow, rich at the start and plenty of length — 4 months ago

BR was only off by a decade in this blind, which is both a testament to her blind-tasting acumen and the producer's greatness. She thought it was an 05' which given how young this was looking, was a forgivable mistake. The producer was an easy one - that unmistakable green tea aroma with streaks of white flowers, kaffir lime, and anise was just so Grunhaus. How she figured out it was from Abtsberg still baffles me, but I guess it was really just a 50/50 shot once the producer was established. Finally the lightness and dry linear finish placed it right in the Kabinett Trocken territory. Bravo, BR! As for me, the wine was just too digestible to have warranted any thought when drinking - disappeared over lunch with a good half of the effort contributed by yours truly. — 2 years ago
Excellent Großes Gewächs Riesling, packed with flavor. A very complex Riesling having passion fruit, tangerine, pineapple, and pear flavors. Stunning. Will improve with age. — 6 months ago

Honey, herbaceous. Residual sugar coats the tongue in a pleasing way, and finishes with some acid — a month ago
