In der Nase sehr blumig, an Jasmin erinnernd. Dazu recht zitrisch-zitronig mit ganz wenig Zeste und etwas Aprikose. Insgesamt recht ausladender Duft.
Am Gaumen ist das gemessen an der Nase überraschend (und angenehm) eng beisammen, hat guten Säurezug und schönen leichten Griff. Angedeutet dunkle Mineralik, insgesamt mit guter Haptik.
Guter Abgang.
Bleibt ein Easy-Drinking-GG, ewig viel älter muss das auch nicht werden.

A - Medium lemon, clear N - Clean. Medium plus intensity. Lime, green apple, lychee, honeysuckle, per, melon. Complex. The wine is in development. T - Dry. Medium plus accidity, body mouth medium, all the above flavours. The finish is long and complex. C - Very good. Will develop great over the years.
OK, so i accidently opened this bottle. Thought it was the much cheaper bottle from Loosens. Well, it was a great evening with fried rice and this amazing wine on a week day.

Compared to two other GG’s from Loosen this was the most mineral and precise, though not necessarily my favourite. There is a filigree minerality which runs through the palate. The kerosene/plastic notes are in evidence on the nose and carry through to the palate. There’s a brief hint of residual sugar but it quickly fades to the drier, fresher, mineral elements. Not sure where this will go but I’ll wait a couple of years to see....

Said to be from 100+yr old vines. These GGs are always fun to try! Light straw gold color. Some flint and citrus aromas. That unique Loosen level of brightness and rainwater freshness with a mix of citrus, stone fruit, noticeable flint, salinity, herbs and spice. Powerful and concentrated this could use a couple more years or extended air. Maybe even a bigger glass than I usually use for riesling? 91+ I might still prefer Loosens kabinetts for their more immediate gratification and utter weightlessness.

Sehr schöne Nase , Birnen , Zitrusfrüchte und Blüten. Trocken und doch fruchtig , sehr gut balanciert, jetzt schon mit entsprechender Belüftung gut zu trinken, mit Sicherheit aber in ein paar Jahren noch besser . Toller Wein !!

Nose: The nose is fresh and electric with kaffir limes, white peaches, crushed rocks, green apples, saline, and white florals. There is excellent depth with a linear quality that is very attractive right now.
Taste: Medium bodied with sharp, high acidity. The feel is lithe with limes, white peaches, crushed rocks, green apples, and white florals. Along with the razor sharp acidity, there is very good length and balance across the palate and finish.
Overall: This is an excellent, young GG riesling. There is a great amount of freshness and poise, but with the acid structure to easily age for a good while.
Mythos Mosel 2019: From Briedel to Ürzig (Mosel): *** very brief notes from tasting sips *** Nose with lots of anise, spices and herbs. Palate again quite spicy, good extract and depth. Well balanced. Good length. Surely way too young. Give it 5+ years to fully shine. 92-93++

Clean, medium intense nose - white flowers, peach, hints of green & yellow apple. High acidity, low alcohol, very linear and precise. Medium finish, lacking a bit of depth and concentration.

Toller Wein! Schiefer, grüne Stilistik, schmelz, offener als das GG, Kanzemer Altenberg von von Othegraven. Nase: Kräuer, gelbe Früchte, offen duftig. deutlich offener als bei von Othegraven. Geschmack: Länge, Tiefe, Konzentration, sehr Mineralisch, sehr Lang, sehr trinkaninmierend. Ein großer Wein, der schon bald Freude bereiten wird aber mehr als 10 Jahre wunderbar zu trinken sein wird. Best: 2021-2030. Trinken: 2019-2032. 93+?

Opened this at home over a gathering with my regular group of friends on New Year's Eve. We ordered food from Fresher Dinners.
A top class quality Riesling from Germany. Faint notes of honey, mandarin oranges, elderflower, fresh lime, green apples.
Sharp, precise, and a very focused wine. Delicious on its own, pairs well with food too.

Notiz initial vergessen, daher etwas knapp aus dem Gedächtnis:
Sehr ausgeprägte Nase mit Aprikose, kräutrig-floralen Tönen und dunkler Schiefermineralik.
Am Gaumen überraschend trocken (wirkend), auch hier ausgeprägt mineralisch, sehr schön marmorierende Säure.
Sehr guter Abgang, insgesamt im guten ein Sinne Essy-Drinking-GG.
WVL in 2 Jahren.

Floral, fresh, rather sharp acidity, some spices, apricot, rounder on the palate due to some residual sugar, warming, not too complex and long
