    September 7, 2023 - Mosel Producer Visits-Mostly 2022 Riesling; 9/6/2023-9/7/2023: Medium yellow. Scents of pear and stone fruit. Light to medium weight, less sweet than the 2020 version. Creamy, piquant apple entry, outstanding acidity, long slatey finale. Unexpectedly impressive and at an early point of maturity. Outstanding.

    September 3, 2023 - During a merchant walkabout tasting, so only brief impressions. Shown as a late release of the house today and this was absolutely marvellous. Beautiful, complex petrol nose with white flowers, citrus, minerals. 95+

    August 31, 2023 - GERSTLE German and Riesling degustation 2023:
    Fresh, apple, petrol, honey. Complex and intriguing. Classic.

    April 23, 2023 - 洋甘菊、桃杏果脯、成熟白桃,中后段带着矿物粉尘和薄荷脑的清凉感,整体比较柔软。喝起来比香气要更挺拔,酸度中高,扩散在酒体里,整体不是高酸硬朗型的,偏向轻松柔和。奶油包裹着果脯、柑橘和些许薄荷,收尾轻微带矿物感。91+/100

    September 15, 2020 - Cork perfect. Tasting against 2009, 2010. Nose mineral, in between 2009 and 2010. Taste also in between, minerality, fullness. After 2 hors open in bottle moore complex, fuller, melon, white fruit, better balance sweet, acid.... See the 2010
