Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Fatty Cat on 4/21/2024 & rated 93 points: Wine tasting late Apr 2024: clear lemon-like yellow color; intense bouquet of tree and tropical fruits plus scents of flowers and blossoms; full body; soft, juicy, aristocratic texture.

Now fully mature and a pleasure to drink.

Note: CT wine definition misses to mention this wine is a “GG” (“Grosses Gewaechs”). (62 views)
 Tasted by Fatty Cat on 10/2/2021 & rated 90 points: Early Oct 2021: pale yellow color; fruity nose; mild, well-balanced on the palate.

Note: CT wine definition misses to mention this wine is a “GG” (Grosses Gewaechs”). (308 views)
 Tasted by Fatty Cat on 6/6/2021 & rated 90 points: Early Jun 2021: deep yellow amber color; grapefruit and peach aromas in the nose accompanied by light petrol notes; soft and oily texture; with a bitter touch on the palate; full body. 89-91/100

Drank this wine over three days with different impressions. Sometimes thought the bitterness mentioned was well integrated, sometimes it felt too much. Hence the rating.

Note: CT wine definition misses to mention this wine is a “GG” (Grosses Gewaechs”). (389 views)
 Tasted by DrZett on 10/17/2017 & rated 92 points: Beautiful fruit, fresh lemon, honey and melon. A little wood in the back. Very nice and quite uncommon for a German Weißburgunder. (921 views)

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)
