Great nose of sea shells, ocean breeze, pineapples, a hint of petrol, and crushed minerals. Weighty and dry with high acid on the profile. Nice herbaceous characteristics added to the palate. Delicious! Can’t wait to see how this evolves.

Pale gold. Lemon zest, wet stone, and some dill on the nose. Grapefruit, green apple, and honeydew on entry with crackling acidity. Med body with saline smoothness. Acid and mineral in a long, playful finish. This one is intense.

blind First time I had this wine. I guessed Rhinehessen. Very spicy and herbal. Dry but wih a great lime finish. Feels like a cool vintage. A lot to come over the next 15 years. 93

Lemon zest, wet stone, tart apple on the nose but a little tense. Almost a spritz on the palate with racing acidity, a ripe honeycrisp covered in lemon juice with an unmatched lightness. Maybe lacking some complexity but makes sense with the age. I wouldn’t open for a while

Pale lemon-yellow color. The nose feels clean but relatively closed and somewhat reticent with light yet nuanced aromas of sweet, zesty lemon, some mineral notes of wet stones, a little bit of herbal spice, light fruity nuances of cantaloupe and nectarine, a floral hint of apple blossom and a touch of grapefruit. The wine feels ripe and juicy yet almost bone-dry on the palate with a balanced, silky mouthfeel, medium body and quite intense flavors of ripe citrus fruits, some cantaloupe, a little bit of white peach, light mineral notes of wet stones, a hint of something slightly gaseous - perhaps a touch of SO2 still showing? - and a touch of floral spice. The crisp acidity lends great intensity and sense of precision to the wine. The finish is crisp, lively and wonderfully mouth-cleansing with lengthy flavors of ripe citrus fruits, some cantaloupe, a little bit of spicy red apple, light floral notes, a hint of mineral spice and a touch of again something slightly gaseous.
A lovely but also still very youthful and slightly nervous GG Riesling. Unlike the wonderfully exuberant 2018 vintage, this feels still a bit closed, slightly holding back. However, all the pieces seem to be there and the wine just needs a bit time to really come together. A very promising effort, but better suited for cellaring purposes than immediate consumption. Start drinking in a few years, keep for a dew decades. Solid value at 31€.

Also very Riesling on the nose. Tight and brisk on the palate. Very focused. Very intense.
