December 27, 2020 - Golden, ripe peach, citrus in the nose. Nice acidity accompanying firm body, and while should have been drunk, still very much alive and Riesling worthy.
August 15, 2015 - Ripe peach and pear. Touch of residual sugar. Citrus. Very more-ish!
October 28, 2013 - Excellent and full of life.
May 8, 2013 - Smells like golden apple, flowers, clean ocean brine, and some mild petrol. Fuller fruit on the palate, juicy apple and peach, with plenty of acidity that lingers in a fairly long, dry, slightly bitter mineral finish. Good stuff!
April 19, 2013 - Dry German Riesling (German Wine Society - Washington, DC): Aromas of peach, lime, orange blossom and yellow apple, with time faint notes of herbs and spices. Lush apple and pear fruit on the palate with superb acid. Hints of oil and beeswax show the age. This wine is only slightly sweet, but the mineral and acid make it taste bone dry. If I had other bottles, I'd be wary of aging them for more than a year or so. That said, I really liked this, as I do all Heymann-Löwenstein wines.
January 20, 2013 - Noten von reifem Apfel gepaart mit gelbem Steinobst, dazu Wiesenkamille und Kräuter; am Gaumen Melange aus Ananas/tropischer Frucht und Kamille, guter Schmelz mit herbem/bitterem Unterton und langem Abgang
June 3, 2012 - Was really bummed when I opened this yesterday because I think it was slightly corked. Underneath the cork taint, I could tell this wine rocked with lush stone fruit, minerality and racy acidity. Very spicy and mineral driven on the palate but there was just something off and the nose indicated TCA. Damn.
May 26, 2012 - Screwcapped. Off-dry. This is drinking beautifully now with enough fruit remaining and some lovely petrolly, earthy complexity coming to the fore. I intend to drink my remaining bottles this year as I cannot see this improving.
October 4, 2011 - Weygandt Selections - Annual Portfolio Tasting (Astor Place - New York, NY): A lovely nose of lychee, white peach, mango and crushed rocks. Palate is silky but has nice depth with rich riesling fruit on top of beautifully integrated acid.
April 28, 2011 - After short aeration (doubledecanted while cooking) just so delicious -- there is a sort of life or movement to the taste of a good Heymann-Löwenstein wine that makes it impossible to resist. And this is good now, even if it might benefit from a further year or two in the cellar.
