I agree: a big wine grown on the "hot spot" where Rhein and Main meet in a very hot year on fertile soil. So it can`'t be a typical dry "Hock" and I had the irritating idea that it was closer to a white Burgundy...but a lot of strength and fruit and still a good acidity as well as herbal notes from the green parts of the grapes. Will not approve but last another two years on the actual level.

Very similar to my previous note. This bottle feels slightly fresher than the previous one, it is rich and satisfying, but there is a lot of alcohol present. Very enjoyable, displays the power which the Hochheim area is capable of but does not lack elegance. Drink soon.

Identical to my previous note. Very attractive and exciting now, but in the final analysis the alcohol affects the balance of the wine - there already is a clear sense of heat on the finish. Drink soonish.

A big wine. White peaches, granite, honey. Mouthfilling acidity witn long finish. Will it become more alcoholic over time? Perhaps!

Quite dry. Very mouthfilling with sharp acidity and clean finish. Excellent QPR.
