  Really enjoyable bottle. Gave it ~1 hour of air. Warm stone fruits, herbal notes, and perhaps some pineapple coming out over time. Actually less overt slate on the nose than I was expecting. Minerality comes through on the palate, though, alongside a very elegant juiciness. Finish is super dry with more stone fruits. Refreshing and complex. More to come with bottle age, I'm sure.

  Opened in Hong Kong, slow-oxed for a few hours before serving blind.
  
  This really needs some air to open up and express its Riesling character. Otherwise, you get the classic notes - zesty citrus and green apple alongside petrol and very strong acidity.
  
  However, I couldn't find the complexity here - perhaps this needs a revisit and a bit more time. Would predict some upside, and given the praise I've heard about this producer, am keen to try some bottles where I can try enough over time to properly wrap my head around it. 91 now, but might adjust with a second bottle under more ideal conditions.

  Bottle 1 of 6. Agree with previous taster AndreasMuc, this is a real treat. Intense and quite full for a Mosel Riesling, it still has a lightness to it, that makes way for a very intriguing personality. It has crushed flint/slate, yuzu/lemonpeel bitterness, a little toffee and mango as well. But above all it has a prominent salty sensation on the palate, that sort of knits it all together. A very delicious and in-your-face take on a dry Mosel. Love this stuff, superior winemaking. (93-95 pts).

  Alk. 13%. Die Nase ist intensiv aber nicht laut — Steinobst, Kreide, fruchtig, etwas Karamell, sehr elegant, etwas Bitterkeit, herbe Kräuter und Strenge. Am Gaumen viel Fülle und Cremigkeit, präzise Säure, für einen Riesling aber eher niedrig. Changiert zwischen Frische und Finesse und druckvoll-ölig-cremiger Intensität. Salzige Mineralik und lange, straffe und Bitterkeit. Groß. (97-98)
