Recher Herrenberg Pinot Noir 2017

MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET
9.1

Volnay, Marsannay style floral (roses and hints of Geranium) better nose than palate. Hints of raw meat, high acidity but balanced with the ripe fruit. Long finish. One of the best #pinotnoir I’ve had from #Germany #vdp #vdpgrosselage #gg — 4 years ago

Weingut Clemens Busch

Marienburg Großes Gewächs Riesling 2013

And we begin with the #GG's! Only gray #slate from the middle section of the greater Marienburg and sourced from "younger vines" that are already 30 years old. A sleeping giant at this point but given ample time to breathe and open up in a decanter it is an impressive experience! #ClemensBusch #Riesling #Marienburg #GrossesGewächs #Mosel #terroirist — 8 years ago

I was not wild about this. I was missing the intense minerality and zip with the complex background I was hoping for. Maybe a little sleepy? #riesling #donnhoff #gg — 9 years ago

Weingut Spreitzer

Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling 2009

#2009 was a spectacular year for #dry #German #Rieslings and the #Spreitzer brothers made an #OestricherLenchen that lives up to this vintage's reputation. Creamy, silky, mouth-coating concentration with a fine core of ripe acidity to support its innate opulence--well done! #erstegewachs #GG #Rheingau — 9 years ago

Incredible concentration and a powerful nose. The palate was thick and fruity but finished dry. Great balance and length. #schaferfrohlich #grossesgewächs #gg #nahe #riesling #germany #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago

Weingut Keller

Kirchspiel Riesling 2004

For me this was the #wine of the night at the #Escoffier dinner at #WeingutKeller... And in a double #magnum it could not have been better in terms of freshness and complexity. A ringing, linear core of ripe acidity together with a lining of medium-bodied extract all in perfect balance and harmony... the epitome of finesse and elegance. A fabulous accompaniment to the delicious cuisine that kept arriving course after course throughout the evening. When it comes to #dry #Riesling it simply doesn't get any better! #Keller #2006 #Kirchspiel #GrossesGewächs #GG #Rieslinglover — 8 years ago

Do you rate anything less than a 10 Dade? Seems like that you drink nothing but 10's. I definitely want your source. 😉

Tasting of #Keller 2015s! Typically a very linear wine and rather restrained presently, but nonetheless awesome potential... soft, almost creamy texture, finely focused acidity--a real jewel! #Riesling #GG "#Kirchspiel" — 9 years ago

Abts E de Riesling GG 2006

This wine set a record at #auction when 3 of these double #magnums were offered so it was an enormous pleasure and great honor to have been able to experience this massively impressive 10-year old #GG while sitting next to it creators!
#2006 was a notoriously challenging vintage where rampant #botrytis and heavy selection were the order of the day; nevertheless in the hands of the Kellers yet another epic wine was born--THANK YOU!!! #Keller #AbtsE #Westhofen #Riesling #Rheinhessen

Frühlingsplätzchen Großes Gewächs Riesling 2014

Here it is! One of the two #EmrichSchönleber #GrossesGewächs wines we released this month. A wine of tremendous finesse and complexity that is the more feminine in style of this fantastic winery's two main sites. The 2014s are very nicely structured and so crystal clear. They will benefit greatly from further bottle age and decanting prior to serving. #Frühlingsplätzchen #Riesling #GG #trocken #dry #Nahe — 8 years ago

Hubacker Riesling GG 2015

This vineyard has been in the #Keller family since 1789 (think French Revolution!)... rich, creamy mouth feel with a fine core of ripe acidity, awesome structure, mouth-filling... a classic, beautifully balanced #Hubacker. A sleeping giant just waiting to blossom!
