  Just unscrew and enjoy,
  got some more weight by cellaring, full bodied Riesling from a top site and a warm year here, juicy stone fruit, clean, energetic, full of tension still, long salty aftertaste with very good refreshing and demanding acid in a too cold northern may........ perfect pairing with Duroc pork chops!

  A sunny, merry with wine day at my Hometown! (Paulinenplatz, Millerntor, Sierichstraße): From MAG: and now....., one of the best wineyards from the south Pfalz, very dens and still young showing, chalky, energetic, very good tension, a Riesling-poem! Will improve and get far more complexity by further cellaring, **(*-****), 91, 92+ potential

  Unsrewed this bottle three days ago, slept since then in the fridge, now poured in a very big burgundy glass, a stunning frangrance of all kinds of yellow fruit, yet balanced by this long aeration, silky and with great density, the warm year shines through, but no way lacking tension, ending with a fine mineralic whiff long+, with a decent decant delicious from now on, but can easily be kept for the next decade, **(**), 91-92+ potential

  Our wine (Riesling) group discovered this estate on one of our wine and football tours more than two years ago, we were impressed by the quality of this estate, since then we ordered some (more) cases every year, their top Riesling from the famous Kastanienbusch they always release in July, we recieved some cases and Magnums of this fine stuff this week, opened better say unscrewed the first bottle today on a warm summer eveníng on the terraces, despite the high ABV of 13,5% this is very precise in its fruit appearance, some (more) limestone, lots of grapefruit, balanced, surprisingly....., very, very fresh, I think this shows the very fine vintage 2015, very tasty, delicious, on the mineralic side of Riesling, long+, so easily drinkable at the moment, but for sure no problem for the next decade+ **(**)-?, 90- 93+?
