Zesty but has a brioche undertone. Green apple, lively bubble — 3 years ago
Pings your nostrils with sequence of subtle vibrations at hummingbird frequency. Lime, orange blossom, burnt match. Then a slow slip into my absolute favorite honeyed dimension. I love when honey shows up - it's one of my favorite notes in wine. Here it changes the direction from steely stern face to a textured viscous warm smirk. — 4 years ago
Magnum, nr 10 — 5 days 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. — 3 years ago

Beautiful bottle. — 2 months ago
Fruit forward with apple and lime, with honey and petrol. Waxy, concentrated, vibrant, and long. Excellent! — 3 years ago
Glowing liquid gold. No doubt, my favorite shade of riesling. We're in for some expression, maybe even a smile. Smells like can of Sprite and sticky Valencia orange slices, beads of juice crawling down your palms. Tastes like starfruit and lime-aid sherbert, bitter grapefruit, thyme, and honey. Pinnacle acid and mouth coating viscosity. Long as the summer sun. — 4 years ago
