Seeing the recent notes here on CT prompted me to pull a bottle of this for a recent tasting and this wine was close to being the group favorite. No signs at all of what I thought to be a hot/flabby vintage. The grapes were handled exceptionally, and gives everything that you crave from a Mosel riesling. Many years still ahead for this fantastic wine!

Great acid, much more savory in character that fruity, very rich and full, packed with minerals. Definitely has years to go ahead of it before reaching peak, drinking this one on the young side just to check in.
This is a great dry riesling to help break me of my bent toward white Burgundy.

Absolutely seamless, ethereal, in a happy place now drinking well but seemingly with plenty of life ahead. Really great, powerful, riesling.
