April 11, 2024 - Incredibly round while offering tropical fruits with ample acidity and an almost floral sweetness. Further in the glass you’ll find a hint of smoke and a minerality that reminds me of wet seashells. The complexity is remarkable. The smoke note in particular was a revelation!

July 25, 2022 - Excellent Riesling, hints of sweet with acidity, balanced and complex.
Honeysuckle, green apple, mineralogy, acidity, finishes with some pineapple and a touch of lemon. Very complex and aged beautifully. A1 person found this helpful Comments (2) -

Darn that is super tasty Riesling. Loads of texture and still has good energy, lively stuff. -

April 19, 2018 - Lucien Albrecht Tasting (Primrose - Washington, DC): Gorgeous aromatics of peaches, nectarines, tennis balls, honey. On the palate, this is richly textured but so crisp and delicious. Juicy fruit but deep mineral presence. Lots of life ahead for this beauty.
