Retailer tasting, brief note. Screwcap, 12% ABV. From vineyards in the entire Rheingau, but very little from Rüdesheim itself. Light but intense, zippy acidity, lovely Rheingau typicity, very delicious and excellent value.

Retailer tasting, brief note. Löss and loam soils, from the flatter vineyards east of the Rüdesheimer Berg, with a little bit of Bischofsberg thrown in. Earthy, juicy, has substance and bright acidity but lacks a certain elegance at this stage.

Retailer tasting, brief note. From declassified grapes grown in vineyards on the Rüdesheimer Berg, fermented in large oak. Juicy yellow fruit, floral lift, light body, slightly lower acidity than the previous two wines, lovely bitter notes, good length.

Retailer tasting, brief note. From a sheltered part of the Roseneck, light but intense, relatively generous and open style for 2016, attractive but not as profound as the Rottland 2015 which came after it.

Retailer tasting, brief note. More structured than the Roseneck 2016, still a bit yeasty on the nose, slender and linear style for such a warm year, rounded off by a touch of wood, lovely depth, very good length. An archetypal Rüdesheimer.

Retailer tasting, brief note. Light style, supple and juicy, cranberries, slightly drying tannins, good length.

Retailer tasting, brief note. Magnum. Does not have the freshess and zesty excitement of the 2017, solid though.

Retailer tasting, brief note. Magnum. Beautiful mineral depth and energy, has weight and fruit, excellent balance.

Retailer tasting, brief note. From sandy, alluvial soils, six months in botte. Displays lovely purity and complexity, light but intense, balanced and with good length.

Retailer tasting, brief note. Clay and limestone soils, 24 months in botte. Relatively Burgundian in style, elegance and intensity, firm tannins, lovely freshness, smoky, roses, lovely length. Puts finesse before concentration.

Retailer tasting, brief note. A complex blend of 40% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 30% Petit Verdot, 20% Merlot and 10% Syrah. Relatively cool and wet year, drinking well already, mostly primary with some early tertiary development, smoky oak, lovely balance and length.
