October 28, 2016 - Tasted next to the 2009 Herrenberg GG. I thought I picked up a slight TCA note on the nose, a little mouldy. Certainly not as expressive and complex as it should be. Again on the palate rather one-dimensional, lacking a bit of depth and vibrancy. NR

November 27, 2013 - Unfortunately my full tasting note was lost in this year's CT crash. So I'll just say a very memorable, truly great wine. As good as good burgundy, and not vastly dissimilar. In a beautiful place in its development now.

October 23, 2009 - WFA German Varietal Tasting (Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore): This was far and away the best German Spatburgunder I have ever had. Made me wonder whether the 2005 I had last year was an off bottle. While that was all oak and sweetness, this was just oozing restrained classiness. Nose was extremely tight, but with obvious complexity. I got peppery spice, little savoury, meaty undercurrents, some dried earth, soil, chalky mineral and lurking dark fruits. I got much the same impression on the palate - lots of depth and complexity, with layers of concentration, but all super tightly coiled at the moment. When I first tasted it, it was all stony mineral with super fine, silky tannins providing some grip. With time, some dark, dark cherries began to slowly ooze out from beneath that elegant structure. Finish was nice and fine too, not too long, but satisfying, with bits of bittersweet mineral and spice. Superb potential here. I would give it 10-20 years easily in the bottle. 92-93 points for now.

January 2010 (link)(Jean Stodden Spätburgunder Recher Herrenberg Grosses Gewächs) Pale ruby with moderate concentration. The almost feral nose is immediately full of musk and sandalwood, as well as overripe fruits, roasted meat, five-spice, black Bing cherries, milk chocolate, and cream, with hints of crème fraiche. The palate adds bright fruits and red-purple flowers. In addition, there is a reserved side of this wine that begins to reveal briary, more earthy smells. The tannins, acidity, and alcohol are perfectly integrated. Special Report: The Ahr and the Emergence of German Reds
