The best wines are often circumstantial, which couldn’t be truer here. I’ve had this wine on a couple of occasions and none has hit a peak quite like this bottle. Whether it’s the extra cellaring time, the quelling of a built-up riesling craving, or the excellent company, I’m sure it all contributed to the best riesling I’ve had this year. This was comforting, complete, invigorating. Powerful and ripe, deep and savoury, yet fiercely mineral, herbal, and taut, all inflected by a certain special Koehler-Ruprecht earthiness. A one on the binary scale!

Developed nicely with a golden colour. Typical Koehler Ruprecht taste. Would recommend this to anyone who likes Riesling

Same session as the other KR that Felix brought....Auslese Trocken excites me for unexplainable reasons but with age even more fascinated.
