 Tasted by appel54 on 1/28/2017 & rated 88 points: Mörkgul, lite grumlig

Oerhört, mycket gummitoner, bakom det en hel del citron

Torrt, fylligt, bra syra, härlig längd och komplexitet (470 views)
 Tasted by chcook on 5/19/2011 & rated 89 points: 2010 Tasting @ Josef Leitz Winery: focus on the magic part of this name. it is truly magical. popped and poured. color light straw. nose shows intense minerality with some fruit which scared me a little, but the mouthfeel is very soft. this has a long finish but does show the acid on the back-end. really a delicious option at this price point.

#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)

Rheingau

VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info

The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions.
