| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Janda_42 on 12/30/2023 & rated 92 points: Eye: Consistent medium yellow.
Nose: Petrol, grapefruit and lemon. Clementine.
Palate: Petrol, saline, grapefruit, lemon. Slight buttery cracker character. Nicely moderated acidity; more round than crisp. Berry, peach, and orange notes.
Finish: Medium length. More grapefruit, cracker, and lemon. The faintest touch of tomato skins.
Overall: A nice and well done GG trocken. I agree with other commenters; this is definitely a lighter style German Riesling. I’d like to see what Kuhling-Gillot’s other wines are like.
Edit: Returning on day 2, the wine has markedly improved. It shows classic Riesling character and is very delicate, crisp, and refreshing. (126 views) | | | Tasted by grafstrb on 11/30/2022 & rated 91 points: -- aggressively double-decanted 15 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 - 3 hrs. on Day 1; revisited on Day 6 --
-- AP #: ... 42 18 --
NOSE: medium petrol; moderately ripe melon; a touch lactic. Day 6: quite expressive, with a strong tangerine note.
BODY: green-golden color of medium richness; light to medium-light bodied.
TASTE: high acidity -- juicy; lots of mineral; very dry; soft, and a bit creamy -- creamy Orange Julius melon-type thing; faint front-mid palate salty aspect; 12.5% alc. not noticeable; it's tasty, and it's good, but it's not really in "my zone" for dry Riesling. Day 6: hard to pinpoint why, but I'm liking this more today than I was on Day 1 --- more resonance, perhaps --- it has a deeper presence today than on Day 1. I could bump my Day 1 score up to 91 or 92 now. strong HOLD recommendation.
Day 1: 50, 5, 12, 16, 7 = 90
Day 6 gut impression score: 91 - 92 (615 views) | | | Tasted by chbeaumont on 5/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Shade pale; lithe, delicate; on the lighter side, refreshing acidity, refined; precise, extended finish. (634 views) | | | Tasted by NickA on 4/13/2021 & rated 93 points: GGs with Howard Ripley Wines (Zoom!): From Rheinhessen, currently Germany's most exciting region (in part because of the benefits of climate change). The estate was an early convert to biodynamics. Olberg is part of a slope of SE-facing red slate sloping down to the river, with a number of famous sites of which Olberg is the warmest (and has clay, too), leading to rich wines (although this wine is only 12% ABV).
Aromatic, fumy and tropical on the ethereal nose, belying the cooler growing season. Some dusky florals coming through, and quite saline too, particularly on the palate, which almost made me think I was eating white fish seasoned with lemon juice. Mouthwatering and moreish - intensely mineral, and extremely herbal on the finish. Stunning. (722 views) | | | Tasted by kingkanu on 4/13/2021: Grosse Gewächs tasting with Sebastian Thomas of Howard Ripley Wines (Zoom tasting): Biodynamic. this is a south facing site comprised of a slope of red slate and red clay running down to the river. Its 80-170m in altitude and the domain has 1 hectare out of 11.32 hectares. 12% a cooler year. Stoney, sweet fruit, some tropical, high acid and very mineral and saline. good length (652 views) | | | Tasted by "Rhône Rider" on 5/22/2019: Frisk, urter. Lukket, lang. (799 views) | | | Tasted by "Rhône Rider" on 4/26/2019 & rated 92 points: Tropi7åpning, samler seg sammen, mye mineraler og sitrus. Deilig 92 (622 views) | | | Tasted by dvansteenderen on 3/25/2019 & rated 92 points: 2017 Riesling GG Tasting @ VINEUM in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Vineum, Rotterdam): Second wine of the third wine. Lack's the -x- factor of the Ölberg GG of Kai Schätzel, but is very clean and pure though! 91-92 (960 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 3/25/2019 & rated 92 points: Van Steenderen Wines Grosse Gewächse 2017 Tasting (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL): Tasted blind. More fruit expression than the previous wine, hint of yeast, citrus, very good weight of fruit on the palate, silky and seamless style, charming and balanced, lovely purity of fruit, hint of earthy warmth, very good length.
