WTN: H-L

2012 Heymann-Löwenstein von blauen schiefer
No idea what it was like when younger, but in a nice place right now. A verdant golden diamond that is integrated, balanced, savory and a fine riesling to drink with your dinner. On its own it is very nice, but has a tough time standing up to the following wine, which could have been predicted.

2014 Heymann-Löwenstein Uhlen R Roth Lay
More carbonated coiled power upon opening, but with a bit of air starts showing the goods. As above, it is a verdant golden diamond, but more focused, more precise, more layers, more depth, more elegance, more mineral. Lovely lovely stuff that has me looking forward to opening the 2015.

Overlooked producer...hard to source.

I guess you mean overlooked in the US. I think they do just fine with sales and fans and accolades in Germany.

These days, I have relatively few good German wines available locally in NC anyway that I have less sense of the broader market.

[David M. Bueker]

Yes. H-L has had poor and/or no distribution in the US over the years.

I've certainly not run into them. But sound good
