Kleur: Medium goudgeel. Aroma / bouquet: Intens, complex en vooral uiterst aangenaam bouquet. Frisse tonen, citrus, peer en abrikoos, tegelijkertijd rijpere tonen als tropisch fruit en nougat, uiteraard vergezeld van een aangename goût de pétrol. Smaak / Afdronk: BP14 Ook in de mond maakt deze wijn vanaf het eerste moment een grootste indruk. Prettige aangename zuurgraad, dik-sappig, een prachtige retronasale aromatische expressie (overrijpe appel, petroleum, abrikozencompote). Indrukwekkend lange afdronk.

Colour: Medium golden yellow. Aroma / bouquet: Intense, complex and above all extremely pleasant bouquet. Fresh notes, citrus, pear and apricot, at the same time riper notes such as tropical fruit and nougat, of course accompanied by a pleasant goût de pétrol. Taste / Aftertaste: BP14 This wine also makes a difference in the mouth from the first moment. a biggest impression. Pleasant pleasant acidity, thick-juicy, a beautiful retronasal aromatic expression (overripe apple, petroleum, apricot compote). Impressively long finish.

SaiMai Thai and riesling (Chicago, IL): Thick, oily, textural riesling at its finest, really. Clean fruit with bright freshness that I really like; not much sense of botrytis here either. Absolutely impressive, powerful stuff.

F.X. Pichler Riesling Unendlich full vertical (1998-2017) (Restaurant Waldhorn, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Gabriel Standard Bottle opened ~36h before. Double decanted ~ 10h before drinking. Clear, medium golden-yellow color. Clean nose, a bit muted, but also dense and smoky. On the palate quite consistent to my previous bottle: Lots of extract and concentration. Lovely orange notes (peel, bitter orange), wonderful acidity, nice balance. Lots of pressure and tension and a really “never ending” finish. Good potential for another decade. 94-95+

“Ten Years After” 2009 Dry Riesling Tasting (Private Location): This wine has everything (except acidity) but from everything too much. VERY intense and big. Tons of substance, dried apricots, honey and vanilla all over the place. Gets a bit better with air but I only can drink a single glass and I´m replete. That’s not my vision of dry Riesling.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2009 (@Private location, Esslingen): Glass: Zalto Universal *** just some brief notes, no full details, rating in context of the vertical tasting *** Opened about 10h before, not decanted. Tasted blind. Unfortunately not decanted. At first a bit fat and chubby, but got much leaner and precise with air, so decant and give it air! This is massive, but also impressive. 14,5% abv is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is never too hot. Lots of extract and concentration. Great depth, minerality and wonderful ripe, clear fruit. Length is really infinite (“unendlich”). Wonderful experience! 94-95+

Than you are able to discover a universe of pressure and greatness ! Could not drink this every week, but once a year this is amazing !
Parlak,hafif yeşil röfleleride olan soluk limon sarısı renginde.Hafif redüi olan ön burnu,kısa zamanda açılarak floral notalar ile birlikte is,limon ,elma,çakmaktaşı gibi aromalara arkada eklenen bal,petrol,kayısı ve silik tropikal nüanslarla,katmanlılık ve kompleksite gösteriyor.Ortanın biraz üstü gövdeli,yumuşak.Damakta tatlımsılığı var ve bal,sarı meyve,tropikal dokunuşlar,meyvenin olgunluğu ve o bölgenin sıcaklığının,2009 yılında, bu olgunluğa fırsat verecek kadar normalin üstünde olduğuna dair fikir veriyor.Yinede diri asidi sayesinde fresh,vurgulu mineral dokunuşlarla enerjik,akıcı.Damakla aynı paraleldeki bitimi oldukça uzun,canlı ve kompleks bir bitim.Tatmış olduğumuz sek Riesling şarapları içinde, bu güne kadar karşılaştığımız en iyi Riesling.

This was really good, even though I have found the best Rieslings from Austria show their alcohol too much these days. But the Unendlich is still a benchmark wine. Nose of minerals and passion, on the palate peach, cream, nice interplay between some sweetness and the good acidity. Long finish.

Château Margaux Tasting; 4/19/2013-4/20/2013 (Eltville, Germany): I don't know where this is headed. It is almost cloying, thick with papaya, pineapple but not simple, but a bit hot for my liking.
