April 7, 2024 - As good as last year. Will try to lower my pace with my two remaining bottles.

June 23, 2023 - In der Nase sehr klares, reifes Steinobst. Dazu deutlich hell-kräutrig, fast auch etwas an Heu erinnernd, etwas Rauch, ganz verhalten grüner Zitrus. Deutlich würzig, tatsächlich an schwarzen Pfeffer erinnernd. Mit Luft wird es minimal tropisch mit etwas Melone und Ananas. Insgesamt sehr komplex, sehr vielversprechend.
Am Gaumen passend zur Nase sehr haptisch in seinem Fruchtbiss. Enorm druckvoll mit mächtiger dunkler und pikanter Mineralik, dazu hier noch einmal deutlicher sehr pfeffrig. Recht verhalten aber ausreichend in der Säure, ein schöner Wein um den Unterschied zwischen „Druck“ und „Zug“ zu verstehen. Minimal cremig, ich bilde mir auch die ganze Zeit einen ganz leicht laktischen Ton ein, vielleicht ist das aber auch nur das Wissen um die Vorliebe zum BSA beim Weingut.
Enorme Länge, der Wein bleibt vor allem auch in seiner mineralischen Pikanz stehen.
Klasse.

June 3, 2023 - Liked it a tad better than last summer. No surprise given its young GG age.
Last year I wrote "Lovely and complex GG with multiple layers of intense tangerine, melon, minerals, tannins, salty herbs, and light yeast."
This time I didn't get the yeasty note but rather a salted caramel finish. 92p+ -

August 1, 2022 - I quite liked the St. Antony Orbel Riesling GG (2017 and 2018) and hence bought a few bottles of their Pettenthal GG 2018.
Organic producer with spontaneous fermentation and only steel tank maturation (at least for Pettenthal GG).
Lovely and complex GG with multiple layers of intense tangerine, melon, minerals, tannins, salty herbs, and light yeast. Still refreshing though (6.1 g/L TA vs 2.1 g/L RS).
Brilliant food pairing at our BBQ with grilled Loup de Mer and sea bream!
