Nahe^3: 10 vintages of Halenberg, Hermannshöhle and Felseneck + X (@Private location, Frankfurt): *** brief note from an extensive tasting *** Glass: Gabriel Gold Tasted blind. Bottle opened about 2-4h before, double decanted before serving. WTF! This should be 2004? Pale golden color with green reflexes. I guessed 2013! Deep and elegant nose. On the palate less tension than the Halenberg, but also perfectly balanced! Lots of herbs, nettles and mineral notes. Still unbelievably young! This wine has potential for another decade. 94+

Riesling SWAG 2018 (Restaurant Vlet, Hamburg, Germany): Unfortunately my bottle didn’t perform on the high level this wine should normally be. Frank Schönleber told us, that there must be something wrong with it. The nose was ripe and muted, not offering much. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with so much tension, grip and length which saves the wine a bit for me. Powerful and vibrant finish.

Riesling SWAG (Restaurant Vlet, Hometown, Hamburg): Not a good showing in the glass, lacking freshness, maybe a bad cork, really tired bottle

Keller Open Afterparty (Weingut Keller): Unfortunately corked. Would have been a great counterpart of the Hubacker.
