Gorgeous mature Marbach, showing a much more severe, mineral side than it does in youth. Sweet lime zest, pulverized rock dust, rock candy, wet moss, wild mint and a little porcini, with just a hint of secondary development beginning to creep in. Bone dry, dense, steely and incredibly mineral on the palate, with crazy 2016 acidity and a finish that feels like licking a rock. The confectionary Marbach character is still there in the inner-mouth aromas, but this is doing almost Domberg things now. Geeky, structured, terroir-driven Riesling. Could get to 9.6 with more air. — 2 days ago

Wow, medium yellow color, very nice floral apricot honeyed with just a hint of that petrol underneath, with a light lithe texture into a bit more acidic finish. 8% ABV. Must have aged well since last time, last one unfortunately — 9 months ago

Nose is perfect apricots.

Palate is sick. Perfect Apricot. Crunchy. Sick.

It’s only shy of 10 because I do want it to be a tad more sharp. However, what a great find and alternative to Riesling. It skews on a honeydew sweetness note. Perfectly refreshing for a hot summer day. — 6 years ago

WOW I love this. Slight juiciness of yellow/green apples with skin on, dry but not taxing tannin. Exactly as expected. Little pop in mouth like pop rocks. — 7 years ago

Gorgeous classic Nahe nose of white cherry, confectionary fruit, apricot skin, vulcanized rubber and a distinct slate-like note. The palate is ripe, round, pure and extremely juicy, with beautiful sweetness, a Riesling-creamsicle texture and enough tension to keep everything balanced. The acidity is clearly lower than in 2021 and the wine does not have that vintage’s superstar energy, but it gains freshness after the first sip and shows lovely elegance, finesse and concentration. Very good now and likely to open further — 2 months ago

Stunning. Nose is white peach, white cherries, apricot juice, caramel and more. So clean. So elegant. Palate is teeming with energy and sapidity. Juicy, rich and super clean. Terrific compact quality and dry foie gras like finish. Superb. Really juicy and dense. Intense and so engaging. Almost 9.5. — 4 months ago

Very peachy! Also lots of lime. Like a big squeeze of lime, and the pith too. This leans savory for me. — 5 years ago
