Very elegant, textured and mildly creamy with extroverted berry, mandarin, and spice notes coating the palate with typical Gratien electricity on the persistent finish. Paired beautifully with a NY Strip. Nice way to celebrate my 50th Birthday. — 9 months ago

Beautifully aged spätlese, seamless and smoth, lightweight but rich and long, such a treat 🥳 — 5 years ago

vintage 2012 | Each day we eat outside we think it is the last time. But today we celebrate the autumn in the garden, in the sun, with a lentil and carrot gratin with parmesan/panko crust. This Merkelbach is excellent: much butterscotch and tingling acidity, phenomenal balance. — a day ago
