  Although this wine is certainly not at the level of the fantastic Grünlack Spätlese, it is nevertheless a satisfying, food-friendly dry wine with the necessary characteristics of this facinatingly characterful grape: exotic fruits, minerality and bracing acidity. It is certainly worth the 15,00€ I paid for it even if this was for a regular bottle of 0,75L (and not a 5L bucket 😉)

  What a savory and delicious Riesling Trocken. Lingering sweetness is well matched with racy acidity. A perfect match for Asian foods.

  This is not a posh. high-end wine, but the basic wine from a renowned producer and it should be rated as such. I paid € 13,50 and think it has a pretty good QPR. I wish it would be served as wine of the house in a decent restaurant. For me, it is a stable wine: if I am in the mood for riesling and do not want to open something special, this is one of the wines for me. And excellent for that purpose.

  Christmas family dinner 2023
  
  NV Drappier Carte d*Or Champagne (1 magnum) - 90p
  Brilliant Pinot Noir based apero (75% PN, 15% Chardonnay, 10% Meunier) with 7g/L dosage.
  
  2020 Weingut Jakob Schneider Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Trocken (1 magnum) - 94p
  WOTN for me, no surprise Parker rated this 95p! Vibrant, elegant, zingy palate with incredible length and depth, light petrol, lots of minerals, yellow plums, and perfect acidity.
  
  2021 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Gelblack trocken (3 bottles) - 90p
  I tried all Gelblack vintages since 2013 and this is imo the best one since 2015. Creamy and highly mineralic Riesling with peaches and salty herbs.
  
  2015 Villa Al Cortile Brunello di Montalcino (2 bottles) - 91p
  2h decant, much better after 4h. Light crimson red colour. Herbal-juicy palate with tart cherries, strong tannins, acidiy, tarragon, and leather. Excellent food pairing with homemade Beef Wellington.
  
  2014 Château Faugeres (1 bottle) - 91p
  2h decant. Dark red almost black colour. Lovely silky palate with black and blue berries, light licorice, chocolate and oak. Suckling rated this 94p and WA 92p. Might get there in a couple of years.

  Color: Light to medium yellow. Nose: Not much going on. Mouth: Fresh. Good expressiveness and length. There is a fruity component, like quince. Quite wishy-washy and a bit boring. It is good wine but overpriced. To me it should be sold by the bucket (5 L) for 40 $. Would be nice in the summer to drink cooled. I would drink it with head cheese and other rustic charcuterie. It would make a great party wine if it would be cheaper.
