Kalk & Kreide Saulheim Chardonnay Pinot Blanc 2022
One of my favorite sleeper wines in my portfolio. Nose has lemon pith and flesh and a hint of creaminess. Gorgeous and clear minerals. Smells like a scene in nature. So vivid and like a field. Palate is just so complete with lemon, grapefruit and green apple flavors and a lovely limestone minerality throughout and tons of sap and length. With air the nose has a unique grassy element. Really fresh and perfectly integrated acidity. This is the type of wine restaurants in the usa need by the glass. Of course it would be overpriced but at least it will be great. Really picking up some finesse now with air. This is so well made. Nose is stanky mineral now. Also so saline. Sea breeze. Palate has such grace and a quiet density. Round and fresh. — a year ago

Feinherb Riesling 2019
Gorgeous nose. Fresh mowed grass. Peach, apricot, minerals and some vulcanized rubber. Very petty. Amazing how sugar changes the whole equation. Nose gains depth and breadth as it airs out. Palate is lights out with unreal fresh layers of fruit, peach, apricot and white peach. Nose gets more evocative and blends limestone and vineyard peach. Such a summer wine. And likely great with food. Dense, light, nimble and just the right amount of barely there sweetness. Outstanding. — 5 years ago

Dry Riesling 2022
The nose shows lemon, lemon peel, chalk, a bit of a creamy, pastry thing, this is a beautiful, inviting mix of scents and flavours. The palate is showing some great acid drive, as expected, lemon curd and a tiny zesty thing, there is width and some grip, it's almost round in the rear, as if some residual sugar was left to bring some balance and fun to this wine. The finish is long, fresh and balanced with delicious lemon curd, some zest and some grip that goes on for a good while. This is not the greatest of german rieslings, but it's good fun. Indigenous yeasts, 5 months on lees. Organic farming. — 6 months ago

Saulheimer Kalkstein Riesling 2022
So so intense, clean mineral lines & voluminous on palate-tasted blind my friend thought Chardonnay. 50 shades of apricot, a squeeze of petrol at end of long finish. Enough padding to be also Uber enjoyable. — a year ago

Hölle Spätburgunder 2021
What a drop dead stunningly profound wine. Just so brilliant. Nose is all elite plum, black raspberry, mid season cherries, sour cherries, black cherries and lovely tree bark and a hint of herbals. So complex and so pure. There is a delicacy and elegance to the nose that is stunning. Also some citrus top notes. Palate is at once round and but also has terrific energy from what seems like stem inclusion. So nimble and pure. This has serious structure and the fruit in the palate is sweet but also high toned and cooling and one can tell this is a cool vintage wine. What an epic finish and such refined tannins. This also needs to breathe. And it will improve and wow what a wine. Let’s see where it goes. — a year ago

Riesling 2022
Quite light straw colour . Green apple , lemon rind , white flowers and wet stones . On the palate high acidity balanced with hint of sweetness . Green apple , lime freshness , cool stony notes , good length and balanced alcohol . Simple but effective . Drink now but no rush over the next decade I should imagine . — 2 years ago

Saulheimer SilvanerKalkstein 2019
Confectionary nose that is teeming with energy. Awesome minerals, sugar snap peas and airiness. So clean and intense. Awesome. Has that 19 lift. Rich, yet also so energetic and crisp. Has terrific fruit intensity like apricot and kumquat but finished mineral and shows its limestone footprint. So good. Lovely tension between elegant richness and intense minerality and crunch. — 5 years ago

Dricker lite gammalt vin igen. Klagar inte. Jag är lite tagen då jag denna dag gjort lite förändringar men också på grund av att jag tappat en sylvas sax på tån. En jäkla cirkus. Så jag orkar inte skriva någon uppsats utan jag nöjer mig med att konstatera att det för att citera Eskil Erlandsson smakar gott.
Riktigt potent, mycket stuns, röda bär, plommon, kakao, någon slags trä, inte ek inte bastuaggregat utan något annat. Glider ner. — 7 years ago

Just a brilliant brilliant wine. I cannot believe the value here. Nose is just sick. Deep berry, raspberry, cherry, sour cherry, blueberry, woodshop shavings, violets and other florals and so much more. This has so much stuffing it’s crazy. Extraordinary palate that is at once dense and at once nimble. Unreal sweet fruit and unreal, albeit youthful fruit and astonishing length. Crazy intense and brilliant inner mouth aromas and such complexity. Structure to burn and let’s see where we are in a few hours. Wow. — 4 months ago
