Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by foyfrcs on 5/5/2024 & rated 90 points: This is still drinking really well.
Pure, crisp with citrus, sherbet, spice.
Looking at the development of this wine and the current freshness I think that this will be fine for another 5 years. (46 views)
 Tasted by Scorpacciata on 8/21/2023 & rated 92 points: Textbook Riesling. Green apple, pear, lemon, mineral, petrol. Hint of sweetness. High acidity. Developing. Great value. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves. (312 views)
 Tasted by foyfrcs on 10/5/2022 & rated 90 points: Not a great deal to add to the tasting note from August last year. Maybe a little sherbet on the nose.
Crisp, flinty, grapefruit, gooseberry palate.
Excellent with 5 years plus longevity. (561 views)
 Tasted by abc55 on 8/10/2022 & rated 91 points: Dejlig - let men dog frugtintens. Umoden ananas, plast, ærtebælg. Let krydret og relativt lang afslutning. (631 views)
 Tasted by Rote Kappelle on 9/26/2021 & rated 90 points: Agree with the other reviews. A superior everyday drinking style that delivers quality above its price range. Only the Robert Weil Rheingau Trocken at this price offers more in this style and even then it is close. Great stuff. Pop and pour if you want - it delivers immediately and then keeps going for ever. (1668 views)
 Tasted by abc55 on 9/7/2021 & rated 91 points: Citrus, rødt æble, moden pære. Et knæk af bitterhed (grøn peber ish). Saltet/flintet/røget finish - lang. En pleaser med medium intensitet og medium+ syre. (871 views)
 Tasted by foyfrcs on 8/20/2021 & rated 90 points: Medium lemon.
Lemon, lime, flinty nose & palate.
Refreshing, crisp, high acidity.
Lovely wine which should evolve and improve over the next 5+ years. (744 views)
 Tasted by UFGators on 7/13/2021 & rated 93 points: Drinks well above its price. High acidity, med body. Med plus finish. Pear, petrol, lemon. Med plus finish. (885 views)

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)

Rheingau

VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info

The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions.
