Excellent dry Riesling with a lot of extract. Definitely fits what I expect from a spatlese trocken and it didn't let me down. Great stuff, long life ahead of it, and a stupidly good price.

Poured a beautiful bright golden yellow. On the nose seemed to be an almost overbearing petrol note counterbalanced with pear and lime. Honeydew, grapefruit, and honey on the palate accompanied with a wonderful salinity. Had this been presented to me with its vintage undisclosed to me, I would have never guessed it was a 14 year old treat. It had such youthful fruit and spectacular, puckering acidity.

I know nothing about this wine...and am not really "into" Riesling, especially German...but I do appreciate the style and a good bottle or two. I was sold this wine a long time ago, from someone I bought Trimbach FE from, and noted that dry style that I prefer. Cracked this bottle on a whim...first noted the tropical creamy fruits...mainly pineapple...green apple tartness...candied peach...banana skin wax...but here is where this wine shines...KILLER crushed mineral salinity! LOVE the dryness in this wine...very Trimbach-ish...smoky flint strike, yet perceived sweetness from the ripe and full bodied fruits...the dryness and crisp acidity...coupled with the exotic tropical flower florals makes it! Waxy and full bodied texture is pleasing...little white honey butter and petrol from aged complexity is engaging...SO pleasing and a true joy to drink! For people in the know...tell me more about this wine and producer?

Medium straw in color. Still fresh and vibrant - much more complex than iI expected at the prices point - wish I’d bought more.
