A nice Riesling, even if it ends a bit thick. Erich‘s characteristic freshness suits a Riesling - which lends itself to purity and frugality alike - less than some of this other offerings such as his excellent viognier, räuschling, Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay.. and Kirche on the red side.

Still going strong after 14 years, yet fairly one-dimensional and quite alcoholic. Pleasant on the eye, dark and dense, with just a flickering of ruby to note its age Powerful on the nose. Still a few years ahead. That said, quite some alcoholic pugnency next to the dark cherries that is Sangiovese. OK in the mouth. Fruit is there, licorice, alcohol as well. Refinement is missing, fairly one-dimensional. Overall would have hoped for more complexity.

Fresh and fruit-driven, without being too fat. More expressive than the 2020. Drinks well now
