This Gaisböhl was the biggest surprise for me in the whole tasting. The incredible complex nose is dominanted by this very ripe but clean yellow stone fruit mixed with tons of herbs, a touch of wild honey, cream and a hint of petrol. Wonderful juicy mouth entry. Although the acidity isn´t the highest the wine has a certain tension and focus. Again very clear and pronunced fruit. Long, precise finish. Imo this Riesling is very good to drink now and still has time ahead but I´m not sure if it will develope.

An evening with wine geeks (@Private location, Frankfurt): Glass: Gabriel Gold Great, glowing golden yellow color, very young. Clean medium+ intense, developing nose that needs some air to reveal a complex and deep nose with herbs, yellow stone fruit and some petrol. Bone dry, beautiful yellow fruit, lots of tension and pressure, very juicy and spicy. Long and lingering finish. Still very young with at least another decade of potential. 95+

German Riesling - Unsung Stars of the Wine World (with Stephen Brook) (London): Fairly rich medium gold. Rather minerally nose. Much deeper and rounded, less fragrant than 3. Good on the palate, very clean. Richer but slightly more together than 3. Very ripe fruit. Not as long as 3. Quite spicy on the finish.
