Peter Jakob Kuhn Oestricher Doosberg Riesling Spätlese trocken

No notes taken and still mineral but more generous than 3 years ago. Will go for several more years. Re-buy if the price is right, which doesn't seem to be the case as all these lieu-dit Rieslings are rocketing up in price in recent years...

40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg) : My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines. This wine: Fantastic nose.

Expressive stone fruit smell, peach or nectarine. The most fruit forward of PJ Kühn’s wines I remember tasting. White pepper, coriander seed perhaps. Zippy juicy fruit seam, typical of the style. Huge concentration, nectar like. Wonderful length.

Tropical nose. Honeyed with a light texture. The short finish begs for more generosity with this bone dry style. Not much fun but mineral wine lovers will enjoy this. I prefer a dash of residual sugar to plump up my Rieslings. This is a stick insect.... Drink my last bottle in 5 years??

Gooseberry, lime, iodine. Striking bright golden colour with a tinge of green. Light to medium bodied, taut and mineral, great salty mineral concentration. Clean and pure. A whiff of smoke on the finish. Excellent.

What to do in a summer heat wave? Yes, enter a one star restaurant with a terrace towards the river Elbe! So there is a fine view on the working 24/7 big Hamburg port and a slightly fresh breeze from the west, very good structured, still young with a good+ mouthfeel and some supporting acid, some chalky tones, yellow, more zesty fruit, light and refreshing, good length, enjoy over the next 5+ years, **(*- ?), around 88, 89(+)

Smokey, spicy, stone fruit smell. Slightly creamy too. Medium body and juicy fruit in the mouth, lots of acid and still slightly raw tasting but will soften with a few years. Long finish. Excellent.

Rich colour, a touch of oak and cream on the nose, with plenty of spice and smoke. Juicy and rich in the mouth, dry but not raspingly acidic. Well balanced and long. Very good.
