Community Tasting Note

• Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine: 94 points

  February 14, 2015 - This is showing really well right now. It looks like my note from Winegut Schaefer wasn't a fluke. The nose is poised and fine, so light on its feet that it is nearly hypnotic: the perfect alloy of slate, flint, powdered stone, lime, tart lemon, salinity from the concentration - along with a brothy thing, some crisp pineapple and other tart tropicals, white flowers. Light like a feather, but full of flavor - I could smell this forever. The palate is similar - not quite as gossamer, but close. Like lime and stone cut with a razor - focused and pure. Great cut, superb flavor and excellent balance - lime, stone, lemon, slate, saline - broth. The finish is lime and broth - rich and a touch heavier than the rest of the wine, with almost a touch of sweetness. This is superb GG - it reminds me of the best Lauer wines from the Saar. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5-5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17-17.5/20.
