One of my favorite German producers of Riesling. They pretty much nail it yr in yr out.
Rieslings are a Somm darling. But, I find it hard to drink a whole bottle w/o the right food. Mostly due to their sweetness. Prefer Kabinett.
The mouthfeel is nice, round and creamy. Bright lemon, lime, grapefruit, tropicals, pineapple, kiwi, passion fruit, lychees, cream hovers on the mouth roof, limestone, chalky powder, white and yellow flowers, excellent round acidity and a well structured, balance and beautifully polished finish that last a full minute.

Very light hue (almost transparent). Aromas and flavors of apple, guava, lime, mango, melon, peach, and petrol. Medium body with medium acidity. Easy drinking (akin to apple juice). Incredible dessert wine.

Method: Pop and pour; white wine glass; fridge temp
Look: Light straw
Nose: lime pith, stream water, jasmine, light pineapple gummy bear; a bit muted
Palate: lime, limeade, (underripe?) pineapple gummy bear; medium+ finish lime, lime zest, light mineral, light fresh parsley; medium sweetness; medium- body; high- acidity; very fine, very slight effervescence
Overall thoughts: I'm surprised by what I get as a less ripe and citrus-y flavor profile (tastes more like a Kabinett to me). Very elegant with great acidity and nice tension, although, the different elements don't quite seem integrated to me. I prefer a bit more of a stone fruit flavor profile in my Spatlesen, but this is still a pretty great wine.

Palate: white peach, lime, peach gummy rings, mineral, citrus; long finish of citrus and peach; crisp, energetic high - acid; medium -/low + body, smooth
Overall: that first sip is so delicious, the acid is perfect with a beautiful, effervescent pop that I love! My only wish is that it was a bit more expressive.

November 2023 Riesling Tasting (K&L): This has beautiful white fruit on the palate, a delicate touch on the palate that is not too ripe, good acidity that balances the sweetness, and a real intensity of flavor. Delightful.

During a merchant tasting, so only brief impressions. Much more open than the GG's, this Spätlese showed really well, challenging the Egon Müller wines. Excellent tension, freshness and palate presence.

peachy, gummy bear after taste, not overly sweet, similar to Moscato level sweetness.

相较于Oberhäuser Brücke所出的同等级酒款，在晃杯时出现的花香和脂粉味更多，较之纯净感弱上几分，多了些许妖艳，桃子、柠檬、咸柠七汽水之类的香味构成主调，后段还有些许干薰衣草味。喝起来酸度中高，刚好平衡甜味，整体结构感一般，偏软，质地显得也比较重。91+/100
