Released two weeks ago from the estate's reserves. Perfect appearance; amazing freshness, elegance and intensity, medium-dry, wonderful salty minerality, tangy acidity, delicious fruit of lemon and lime, excellent length. An essence of the Saar.
AP 13. Incredibly fresh and young - tasting blind I would have guessed 2009; wonderfully fresh, floral and fruity, not very sweet, extremely light on its feet, wonderfully balanced, very good length.
Very young appearance, hardly any browning; very dominant note of bitter cherries with a touch of almond, hint of vanilla but remarkably little oak influence (24 months on barricas); on the palate very fresh and lively, quite tannic but juicy; good length with nice bright red fruit. A bit of a conundrum - for me at least.

80% Riesling, 20% Pinot Blanc. Very clean, dry and linear style, with some added weight of fruit from the Pinot Blanc.

Perfectly fresh appearance; sweeter than the Hütte 1991, smokier and slatier, develops a tea-like note, grapefruit, very good length.

Fully mature, lovely sweet fruit, still fresh, nice touch of custard cream, a bit blunt perhaps - like many 1985's are.
