December 29, 2020 - Light spritzy when opened, revealing beautiful sweet oranges and lemons with focus and purity. It is getting better and better, sadly my last bottle of 6.
October 22, 2019 - Fantastic showing of this wine last night, with juicy yellow apple, racy and charming, my best bottle so far.
October 5, 2019 - More in the spatlese category now, some candied fruits, citruses and spritz-y.
May 21, 2018 - Looks great in the, er, Kabinett. No spritz in this one. Floral and citrus nose. In the mouth the flavours are citrus first and then green apples and a hint of peach. Sugar level is good, fresh but still just on the dry side of medium. Good intensity, not over-bearing with a bit of minerality in the finish.
January 8, 2017 - Mosel elegance, racy and fresh with some citrus and apples, a touch sweeter but what a joy packed in 7% of ABV, was lovely with some spicy sushi.
October 30, 2016 - Coravin fun - German Riesling tasting...then drinking! (E & M's in the rocks, Sydney): Medium minus aromas of apple and struck match…in the mouth this is quite spritzy with green apple notes and slightly off dry residual sugar. Far more subtle than the Donnhoff's for sure and, for me, needs a bucket more time. Should have probably started with this...
August 28, 2015 - Drank this wine with a close CCA friend from my junior college days at Imperial Treasure Nan Bei Restuarant, Ngee Ann City today.
Light golden in colour with notes of apricot, pears and peaches on the nose. In the glass, I was pleasantly surprised to see little bubbles when poured straight from the bottle. Not exactly sparkling, but the fizz gave the wine some extra tangy and zest.
Notes of vanilla, nectar and fresh white flowers were evident in this wine. Restrained sweetness and ideal when paired with steamed and fried dim sum.
August 1, 2015 - green-yellow peacj, pulversied slate; good balance, not too sweet, loses flavour from back pal but still good
July 31, 2015 - A wine with some nice bones, but hard to discern over the secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle. Screw cap popped like a champagne cork when I unscrewed it.
July 25, 2015 - Day 1: A serious meh. Very disappointing showing from a top producer. A rather one dimensional, flat palette. Off-dry but lacking in acidity. It's not zingy or fresh enough for this price point. I'd stick with the Dr L and save a bunch of money. 84 pts
Day 4: Quite a transformation! This is a much improved wine now. More depth and balance. The mid-palette has fleshed out quite significantly. Still not worth the money though.... 88 pts
