  January 8, 2022 - 5th bottle of 6. Still the same quality. It seems that this wine is made to be eternal and will outlive us all.

  March 25, 2016 - A private dinner (Restaurant Becker's **, Trier, Germany): Rich and complex nose, freshness and slate, ripe peachy fruit, rose petals, honeyed depth; dry but juicy and beautifully balanced palate with almost electric acidity, ripe citrus fruit, grapefruit bitters, intense, wonderful slatey minerality; very good length. Fabulous. This is how GG should and can be done on the Saar.

  December 15, 2013 - After 30 minutes in decanter, opened with very strong nose, primary of honey. Notable acid level (8.1 g/L). Long aftertaste. Exceptionally good wine with even better future ahead.

  May 23, 2012 - WXTP Tasting II (Beautiful Wines, The Plaza): Excellent. This was one of my favourite whites on the night. It had a gently sweet nose, with motes of honey and nectar floating alongside peaches and apricots and some sweet floral notes. A pretty bouquet. The palate was a slight change in gear, with lovely mouthwatering acidity on the attack that made the wine taste dryer than the nose led on. It was still a bit tight, but there was some beautiful minerality and a great amount of cut and focus, so that while the wine still rather primary with citrussy flavours of grapefruit and lime at the fore, it did have a lovely clarity to it. With time and a little air, some fleshy green apples starting showing on the midpalate and the wine took on a fleshier feel. For all that though, what I really loved about it was the beautiful precision that accompanied the fruit all the way from the attack into a stony, minerally finish that stretched on and on. A beautiful wine, with a rather profound zen-ness that promises a lot for the future. While very enjoyable now, this is really one that should be left aside for several years.

  November 5, 2011 - A weekend with friends in Germany Mosel area: Part 2: Smoky bouquet with good minerality. A lot of focused tart lemon and grapefruit on the palate. Minerals as well.
