Smoky and salty minerality, apricot fruit along with tangerine and pear. uplifting peppery spice. Crisp and fresh acidity. A bit of residual sugar provides for a round mouthfeel despite the crisp acidity. Good mid-palate presence. This is in a great spot right now.

(Hirsch Riesling Gaisberg) ($57.00) This is a bit sunnier than Gobelsburg’s, though high notes still prevail; mints and white flowers; lavish perfume, a slinky writhing body — the girl (or the boy) has the moves, with hopelessly seductive juiciness, yet also with neurosurgical detail. + +

This had a little flinty character, but great body balance, and finish. Benefited from decanting.

Dry white peach, light lemon. Mineral and saline, herbaceous and balanced. Off-dry, bit of fizz. Light on its' feet yet structured. Phenomenal.

In a very good window now. Full and long. See previous note. Excellent balance, clean and pure. Easily one of the better Rieslings

Typical bouquet for the place and variety. Lithe texture and weight, a kiss of RS, with a waxy mouthfeel. Serious acid, great balance.
