    December 18, 2023 - Drinking very well right after opening now. Quite elegant, with lime peel, peach, some slight tropical notes, wet stone and a long finish. I don't have much experience with Dr. Loosen, but this was pretty nice!

    December 13, 2023 - Koenraad; start of a tradition? (Koenraad, Utrecht, NL): Quintessential riesling! Still young, but so good. Medium+ intensity with white peach, petrol, herbal notes, citrus, tropical notes. High acidity, long finish. 92+

    April 12, 2023 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS: VDP Grosses Gewachs (By BS): In the complex and beautiful bouquet minerals, yellow fruits and a touch of petrol. On the palate some candy flavors, ripe fruits, minerals, beautiful acidity and clean. An very beautiful and refined wine with a great length.

    January 28, 2023 - Keller & Haart tasting (Concept Riesling, Düsseldorf, Germany): Rubber and petrol, didn't get those aromas too much today so this is quite a pleasant change of scenery. But also great structure and enough minerality and ripe fruit to balance things out. Very classic Riesling.

    September 3, 2022 - 10 years after Riesling tasting - 2012 - Part II (Concept Riesling, Düsseldorf): Glass: Gabriel Standard
    Tasted blind. Clear, medium golden color. Very fine and fresh nose, still a bit closed. On the palate very dense, with an incredibly salty mineral core. Creamy, but not oily. Lots of warm fruit, but not as sweet as the previous Kühn wines. Spicy. Beautiful tension and balance. Long and lingering finish. Such a surprise to see that is its Mosel. This is how I like Mosel GG! 93+
