I have a very warm memory of a visit to Andreas in 2010. I really loved what he was doing in vintages such as 2007 and 2009, putting his youthful imprint on wines from important sites the middle mosel. I must concede that in recent years, I've found some of these wines to be somewhat flamboyant and my preferences perhaps tending more toward more toward "correct" Mosel winemaking. And that the warmer vintages do not age as well as I had hoped. That said, I loved this wine, certainly on the flamboyant side for a vintage like 2010, but absolutely delicious and hedonistic and displaying the flavor profile of this important site and I'm certain what Andreas was intending to express. Exotic, somewhat tropical mango, peach and lime notes and a great peachstone note to the palate. Delicious wine and paired brilliantly with a curry with a tad of heat. In a really great place and sorry to learn, as I enter this note, that this may be my last bottle.

Nose of lime and stone. Palate is filled with amazing electric energy. Very powerful and concentrated. Bee pollen and delicious lime are also evident. Dryish.

(A.J. Adam Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Feinherb) ($103.00) 110º, from the severest terraces, planted in the early 40s; an iridescent shimmering brilliance, almost minty, with a tart-plum fruit and a thick finish with echoes of slate and Empire apples.
