Decantado cuatro horas. Color amarillo pálido. Aroma intenso y vivo de alta calidad, se inicia con potentes notas de gas, seguido de fruta blanca fresca, tropical, manzana ácida y flores, finalizando con nuevas notas minerales. Boca elegante, fina, suave y estructurada, con gran acidez, muy vivo y reproduce las sensaciones olfativas sobre todo manzana ácida y alta mineralidad y final muy largo. Este excelente riesling deberá ir mejorando durante varias décadas. Un auténtico placer.

Color: light gold Nose: octane and hydrocarbons. Very strong ceran wrap. Wet stone. Lychee and ripe peach. Definitely has a reductiveness to it Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-full body. Dominated by ripe lychee and peach. Octanes less present here Finish: medium-long
Styled in a dry way, this at this stage really needs to sit open in broad decanter for 2 hours. Otherwise you will get a thin palate that underwhelms. Room temp also helps. This is a little less characterful than other dry-style German rieslings I have had, but it has a length that I consider epic for the genre. I suspect this has to sit for another decade to give its best, but it's great now too

SLDS October 2021: Smoke, mango, melon and spice on the nose. Palate has good texture with spark and kick to it, dry as expected. Good length and balance, solid but perhaps without the excitement factor to take it up a notch.

Slight shame here - lovely nose, with a super combination of diesel, smoke and tropical fruit, but the palate was marred by a sassafras flavour that I just couldn't get past. Wonder if there was a slight flaw as the other reviews are so strong, and I've only had positive experiences with this producer before.

This needed some time to open up in the glass, and after an hour or so, it really starting showing off. Faint hints of petrol and seamless acidity throughout, but the purity of fruit is the star. Ripe peach/nectarine notes lead the way, with a touch of tropical fruit and an emerging saline taste late. The finish sails on and on. What an outstanding bottle of wine.

Accessed with Coravin. Rich, intense, and creamy. On the nose, ripe tropical fruits like pineapple and guava intermingle with plastic toys and wet slate. On the palate, this is a satisfying and mouth-filling wine, of good power, releasing lemon custard, salt, tropical fruits, and even fresh herbs. In short: tropical fruits and umami.
I prefer this served at a slightly cooler temperature than the style and richness would suggest, to keep it from becoming too rich, and maintain the elegance and acidity. It paired perfectly with a chicken and chickpea curry.

Expected this to be too young but this showed very well. Smokey, with ripe yellow fruit, lip-smacking. Shame I only had one bottle.

Had a bottle of this at Tim Raue Restaurant in Berlin, Germany.
Only 4000 L produced in 2016. 17 months on lees.
Incredibly dense and intense palate, mainly apple/pear, slate, salt and a very long finish.
Suckling 96p
Parker 93-94p
Lobenberg 97-100p
