 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 11/3/2018 & rated 87 points: Leitz / Argiano tasting (Wijnkoperij Henri Bloem, Utrecht, NL): Retailer tasting, brief note. Magnum. Does not have the freshess and zesty excitement of the 2017, solid though. (1327 views)
 Tasted by HarveyLarvae on 10/2/2017 & rated 87 points: Muted and missing a little funk. Still tasty (1616 views)
 Tasted by Butzemann on 8/12/2017 & rated 84 points: pale colour, smells of melon and apricot, light to medium body, in the mouth apricot and a little bit of minerality, does not have much acidity, has a certain residual sugar without leaving the dry range, in the aftertaste apricot, short finish (5 sec), a very pale Rheingau Riesling, would not buy again. (1620 views)
 Tasted by geneswine on 7/24/2017 & rated 89 points: Pleasant but still has a bit of sweetness, off dry. Label says 12 percent alc so I was not expecting this. (1737 views)
 Tasted by leonardo_de_araujo on 4/22/2017 & rated 87 points: Good Riesling, but don't get fooled by the label, this is off dry (2056 views)
 Tasted by mat600 on 4/14/2017 & rated 86 points: On avait dit beaucoup de bien de ce riesling sous les 20$... Eh bien, bien fait, un peu de douceur en bouche (sucre résiduel). Ce vin possède une finale citronnée sans une réelle profondeur. Vin de semaine. 86 sur 100. (1294 views)
 Tasted by CBenjoyinglife on 2/20/2017 & rated 90 points: Mycket bra! (882 views)
 Tasted by 309VEB on 12/26/2016 & rated 85 points: Drank with Christmas Turkey. I prefer PN. (797 views)
 Tasted by Elycohn on 11/19/2016 & rated 89 points: Translucent straw. Stoney minerality with floral and apple notes followed by scents of lemon and lime. Straightforward and precise with bracing acidity with notes of apple and lime. (757 views)
 Tasted by nicking on 7/12/2016: 88-89 tres bon vin , j'ai pas vraiment pris le temps de le noter (776 views)
 Tasted by skurtz on 7/9/2016 & rated 91 points: Faint floral nose. Well balanced, bright citrous expression of Riesling - almost a hint of spritz too. Perfect with grilled octopus. (751 views)
 Tasted by LiveForLunch on 6/25/2016 & rated 91 points: First had at a tasting in Chester a few months ago, where quite a few of us thought it was the standout wine. Got a bottle Thursday night (it took the edge off the Brexit nonesense) and it was as lovely as I remembered, classic dry Reisling with fantastic juicy citrus notes and a good backbone. (767 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.
