Leicht goldene Farbe. Anfangs noch verschlossen, eher schüchtern und sublim. Dreht mit zunehmender Luft und Wärme auf und aus dem schüchternen, verschlossenen Wein wird ein sehr mineralischer, druckvoller typischer Riesling, der eines GG würdig ist. Aktuell 92 mit weiterem Potential.

Golden lemon. Delicate floral nose with honeysuckle, a touch of fine cedar and some herbal notes. Very smooth despite the zesty acidity. Quite saline in fact. There is plenty of minerality and a bit of yeastiness on the long mouth-watering finish. Very tasty wine. Probably better in a handful of years, but irresistible now. Good balance at this young stage.

pale color, dominated by chalky minerality and lean texture, lemon, lime, white peach. but this is a mineral bomb, clean and linear, more intensity of texture but no one would ever say that the warmth of the vintage affected the balance or acidity negatively. this could one day become a very impressive wine

Sampled over three days to track development. Medium-pale lemon color with aromas of lemon-lime and white peach. Palate has a very austere presentation of mineral and lime with some hints of peach that poke out. By day three, there is some fleshing out of the fruit elements but this exemplifies my distaste for the fully trocken trend in German rieslings...balance is hard to find and I question whether they will age into my preference range. For now, hold.

Day 1 slightly softer than day 1. Vibrant acidity of quince and citrus, but also cool flint and stone. Very mineral driven wine. Dry. I think this will age quite well!

Nice pear, quince, and lemon zest notes on the open, with some honey, saline, and herbal notes on the back end. Improved with time in the glass as it took a good 20 minutes to fully open up. Very dry. Seemed like a very versatile wine for pairing with food.

Reticent nose at first, but the palate doesn't hold back with plenty of immediate firepower on display in a dense, monolithic chunk of a wine. Suckling called it chalky and for once I agree with him. With oxidation some very attractive Riesling fruit aromas start to develop which deflect some of the brute force but this bottle is a showcase for expensive acidity and minerals. And they come in spades, both in terms of a core of liquified rock but also tannin and grape skin acidity. Nice to try young but I would hold on to these for 10+ years. Impressive. Very good value.

A bit too young. Shy and monolithic but the structure is there with a mineral core and serious acidity.

Deeply colored.
Aroma profile is very forward and the palate is flabby.

VDP. Grosses Gewachs Tasting (Army and Navy Club, London): Shy a bit colder than the others, bright palate, quince, 13%, lemon, lime, fresh green element, almost too young, medium body, short to medium finish

Nose: rounded, apple, candied fruit with smoke.
Palate: gentle, soft with plenty of character. Smokey/sweet profile. Quite rich but nice.
