2004 Prager Riesling Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein

The wine was drunk in the restaurant.
The cork broke through but could still be completely removed. The color was dark yellow. The nose was very intense with ripe yellow fruit, honey and caramel and a hint of petrol. The palate was full-bodied with a fairly subtle acidity and a long finish. The wine is slightly over the zenith. Drink up!

2011 Elio Altare Langhe La Villa

Nose: beautiful nose with dark berries and sour cherries, graphite and wet tobacco, some mint in the background
Palate: earthy red fruits and cherry mixed with espresso notes, dark chocolate and fine wood flavors are accompanied by fine-grained, very ripe tannins and a matching acidity; fruit, tannins and acidity are in an excellent balance; a wine with a high complexity and a long finish
The wine will remain at this level for a few more years

2022 Dr. Hermann Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben
4/25/2024 - Nora123 Likes this wine: 93 Points
Over three days in the glass.
The wine comes from vines over 90 years old. It was matured 100% in Mosel fuder cask.
On the first day, a strong Sponti stinker came out of the bottle. I then decanted the wine and put it back in the fridge open.
On the two following days, the tone was more subtle, with a little stall still noticeable; the wine otherwise offers a restrained, very beautiful nose of yellow, ripe apples, a few citrus fruits and white flowers; a little rosemary and wet stone are also noticeable.
On the crystal-clear palate, the yellow, ripe fruit with a slate-like minerality initially pushes forward discreetly. In the middle, the wine has a deep substance with a light creaminess and a fine sweetness. The powerful, yet ripe and round acidity that follows corresponds with the creaminess and sweetness of the body in such a balanced way that I have rarely experienced in a Kabinett. The wine has a perfect inner balance and is very elegant and harmonious.
A great Kabinett with a great price-performance ratio! The wine is already nice to drink now, but can also be kept and matured for many years to come.
