  March 8, 2024 - Pinneaple; deep suave minerality. Some spice that isn't cardamom but made me think of cardamom...
  
  Mysterious, fun, serious. Thank god for wines with personality.

  April 23, 2023 - AP 13 21. Ungrafted vines planted in 1896 in the Longuicher Maximin Herrenberg, basket press, ambient yeasts, aged in Fuder, 12.5% ABV. Opened 24 hours in advance. Toute en délicatesse, fragrant and filigree, silky-smooth with "dienende Restsüsse" (11 gr/l), complete and complex flavour profile, deep minerality, bitters need more time to integrate. Dreamy elegance, marvellous "Trinkfluss". Drink from 2025. Even better after 24 hours in the fridge. Good future.

  February 9, 2022 - Light and delicate. On entry supple and welcome. Gentle, like a warm hand softly caressing you. Slightly off-dry. Elegant, ethereal. Beautiful. Like a Lorraine Loots painting; soft, subtle, but filled with nuance and filigreed detail. Powdered slate and floral notes are then taken over by pear, stone fruit, exotic spices, amchur, shiso, kafir lime leaves, calamansi. A melodic and unfailingly resonant riesling. On first sip, I was scurrying to get more. Drinking beautifully now, but best staring in 3-5 years. AP 13 21
  
  ABV: 12.5%
  Closure: natural cork
  Decant:1h
  Stem: Grassl Liberte
  Extra info: 11g/L of RS. from very old ungrafted vines in Longuicher Maximiner Herrenberg planted in 1896; a plot Karl-Josef purchased from Schmitt-Wagner. Devonian slate with a band of red iron and volcanic red soil.
