Really coming along nice. Waves of petrol. Smoky and spicy- layers of dense white fruit that is never ponderous. Really deft balance of immediate lush fruit, citrusy acid and structure. Lingers long in the mouth. Terrific tension. Super young. But so crushable. (93+)

Lovely stuff. Part of a wine dinner and I didn't get to it until the end of the night. Very aromatic nose of petrol, chalky stone, white flower. Bristling acidity and energy on the palate with lemon, tart pear, and white flowers. Mineral driven finish. My god, riesling is so so good.

Rieslings and Ribeira Sacras (Magna Kusina, Portland OR) : The nose is wide open from the first pour with fresh tones of white peach, green apple, pears, nectarines, chamomile, ginger, lemon curd, vanilla bean, Asian spice, allspice, and jasmine flowers. This has a spring-like nature that I really like, but doesn't have the depth of the bigger boy GGs. The Medium bodied feel is fresh and balanced with zesty, high acidity. The acidity is a lot more balanced and in …

There is excellent tension in this wine, but there is a strange note on the finish that slightly turns me off. It's definitely not a delicate Saar riesling, there is more power here. It improves on day 2 so maybe it just needs more time for things to come into balance.

Riesling as Riesling should be, great tension between sugar and acidity (probably the cooler vintage doing its work here), classic notes of green apple, lemon, some white peach, hint of petrol, and at an absolute bargain of a price.

Excellent Spätlese from a great vintage. Green apple, lemon and exotik notes (kiwi), medium-high acidity, grapefruit and strong mineral notes in the long finish. Still young, 92+.

This wine is relatively easy to drink now. refreshing off-dry, appropriate acidity. Developing petrol notes which I enjoy. This wine will have a long life ahead of it.

This vineyard is a fairly new source for the winery and I believe this may even be the first bottling from this site. From what I had heard, this is super high quality and basically a Grosses Gewächs at half the price. I was anxious to try this, not only because I was curious about the wine, but also because Frank Schönleber absolutely killed it in 2019. The wine was supremely mineral and pure with beautifully perfumed citrus notes, flint, …

A freshly wound mainspring of a wine. Tightly wound, concentrated, yet precise and clear cut. Filled with grapefruit zest, crushed slate, and cooling herbs. Firm and craggily texture with a lasting mineral and sapid finish. Enjoyable now with a decant, but clearly needs a few years to unwind. Saved some for day 2 to see how it evolves. AP 12 20 Day 2: It's significantly unwound from the previous night, but still maintains that slackline tension, density and power. The …

Gehaltvoller, noch junger Riesling auf einer Ersten Lage von E-S. Wahrscheinlich war er noch zu jung, um die ganze Kraft und Komplexität entfalten zu können, die in ihm steckt. Jede Menge Potenzial scheint zumindest vorhanden - momentan aber noch keine 90 Pkt.

Spice on the palate, complex stone fruit dominance on the nose, great complexity, needs time - some beast waiting to be unleashed in 4-6 years IMO. But most will enjoy now as well.
