 Tasted by Rezy13 on 3/29/2023: Young but really fantastic, the varying soil here made this stand out even if the sweetness was in the forefront, there is ripe peach nectarine honeydew mango, each time you go back there is something new, it seems to have a strong mineral component, something in there suggests a dried fruit and tea character, broader and richer than the Mosel wines; very good.

 Tasted by ob2s on 12/19/2019 & rated 93 points: Early to drink, but fantastic. Mandelgarten renders deep tropical notes. This seems to a declassified BA. (868 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)
