  I liked this more three years ago, but it’s still very pure and minerally. It just feels a little heavier. I miss the freshness, but am still impressed by the overall depth. Good for contemplation.

  Youthful riesling fruit, pure and elegant on nose, a bit watery mid-palate; pleasant, integrated acidity, not screechy; the kind of riesling that's equally enjoyable with or without food, just lacking some concentration

  Precise, elegant and understated, the 2006 Vom Stein does not command an audience, it rather encourages contemplation. It’s really more of a springtime wine, when it would fit the new growth and coming warmth. But it’s still delicious in winter, with a combination of citrus, mineral and light honey tones. Nice to see a federspiel over the course of twelve years from the vintage. Wines don’t have to be big to age well.

  Pretty wine that was a solid value. still youthful and vibrant, with crisp but restrained acidity and minerality. ginger and pear with a touch of honey, very little in the way of petrol notes here.

  Tried side-by-side with the 2012; a focused nose with crisp apple fruit.
  
  Light-bodied with good supporting acidity - these are both excellent, and I'm not sure I could pick a favorite right now.
