Not usually a white wine fan but the fizziness and citrus funk reminded me almost of a very natural cider. Bought after a wine tasting at local store. — 13 days ago

Kupfergrube Großes Gewachs Nahe Riesling 2019

Needs a 30 minute decant.

Nose: exquisite yellow flowers. Elenant richness. Lemon oil. But so precise and dense. Utterly insane.

Palate. Immediate mineral hit. Almost spicy. Elegantly rich. Really good. Long. Dense. Wall of flavor. Lemon peel. Utter magic on the palate.

Internal aromatics are INSANE. Just perfection.

Niederhäuser Steinberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2022

Reductive and a bit closed with a herby, a touch bitte note. Juicy, racy acidity with underripe lemon. Yet there’s some darker character - not the flowery light type. Quite some weight & power. Yet not so much charm.
Somehow Nahe doesn’t shine in ‘22.

Super complex nose. Layered and confectionery. Matchstick. Intense minerality. Powerful and elegant. The minerality. Jagged, rocky minerality. Concentrated. Attack is powerful and the finish is so refined. Wonderful purity. Long and detailed. Chewy and concentrated. Very dry. Such finesse. Trucker in a tutu. Wow. Super pure. What a finish. This is genius. This has the finesse and elegance of the top wines of Germany. — 4 years ago

Weisser Burgunder 2018

From two estate vineyards, aromas of fruit and floral spice, fermented in 600-liter casks. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, pear and nutty floral notes. Medium finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit and toasty spice. — 4 years ago

9.6

Just a brilliant, cerebral Riesling. Nose has some funk, lemon, lime, slate, lemon pith, lemon flesh and juicy lime. So piercingly mineral. The palate is just stunning. So gorgeous and pure. Really young out of the gates. Like biting into a lemon. Awesome acidity and freshness but very very young and closed. Air does wonders here. Wonderful but man does this need air. Now, 24 hours later we have gotten air. Boy is this stunning. The nose finally had that slate/porphyry minerality in spades. Dense and elegant with a fiercely mineral finish. Chewy. Structure for days! — 2 months ago

Krettnacher Altenberg Spätlese Trocken Riesling 2023

Solid dry Mosel Spatlese Riesling. Balanced citrus, slate, and petrol aromas. Heavy mouth feel. Not as complex as others I've had recently, but I'm biased having sampled many reserve and Alsatian grand crus. — 6 months ago

Berckem Alsace Grand Cru White Blend 2019

Another Grand Cru from my favorite Alsacian producer.
Poura yellow, I get canary melon, botrytis honey comb, passion fruit, lychee.
Just slightly off dry, the acids have a mustard like quality. (the area is surrounded by mustard fields and I swear that I can smell and/or taste mustard greens/flowers in many wines of Berckem). Follows up with roasted apple flavors, and an incredible clean but long finish.
I wish I could open a bottle of this every night.

Super mineral nose. Wow. Deep and finely etched minerals. No fruit. Salty. Apricot, peach and white cherry. Honey? Complexity. Unbelievable finesse and crazy acidity and superb minerality. Really long finish. Tons of complexity and a GG like character. Inner mouth aromas. Salty and harmonious. Lovely. Stunning. What a value here. Superb baby GG. — 4 years ago
