| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by SommJourney05 on 11/27/2018 & rated 92 points: Medium yellow color with slight silver hue. Lovely aromas of lime zest, green apple, pear and apricot with lilly, honey suckle, petrol, flint and wet stone. This off-dry wine has a medium body with a beautiful acidity that balances the sweetness of this wine and a lovely round mouth feel that is focused and precise. Great complexity and finish. (670 views) | | | Tasted by lyle@vinchicago.com on 2/7/2016 & rated 89 points: (89+) High-toned aromas led by attractive lime zest, light honey and slight toast. Golden apple. There's considerable acidity and good sweetness. Light on its feet, the richness of the attack is quickly fleeting into mid-palate, and the finish is abrupt. A slight petrol-soaked-rag character as the wine sees more air. Classicly weightless, this would be a happy and versatile drink at the dinner table. Any type of pork dish with considerable fat. For a spatlese with secondary notes already poking out, not a great deal of rich fruit and plenty of acidity - I would drink this earlier than later. Additional air brings out a slightly powdery texture and orange marmalade (with peel) in palate. (1211 views) | | | Tasted by Motz on 4/5/2015 & rated 91 points: Tasted at the winery on 4/5. Solid in all regards. Not as sweet as one might expect. Palate coating, with considerable depth. 90-91. (1411 views) | | | Tasted by WinthropT96 on 11/28/2013 & rated 90 points: Bright, clear light gold color. Initial nose has pears and apricots and then a classic petrol; very nice. Good mouth feel and body; more subtle fruit on tasting. Well-made wine that showed very well at our wine club this year. A little sweet for Thanksgiving but worked well with our savory meal. (1413 views) | | | Tasted by socidelvino on 8/29/2013 & rated 87 points: Eye: light yellow. Nose: honeysuckle, nectarine, floral. Palate: acidic, tart, citrus, medium finish. Not the best I have tasted. (1365 views) | | | Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 8/28/2013 & rated 92 points: German Rieslings under $40 (Dan's): The groups and mine's, WOTN. Light silvery gold in color. The nose is nice with slight petrol notes and wet stones and some slight peaches. Complex on the palate. Balanced sweetness and acidity. Long finish. This was $23 which is a great value. (1587 views) | | | Tasted by socidelvino on 4/18/2013 & rated 88 points: Eye: light straw color. Nose: floral, pineapple, tropical fruit. Palate: citrus and tart at first, slightly acidic, nice residual sweetness, medium body and finish. (820 views) | | | Tasted by socidelvino on 10/6/2012 & rated 88 points: Eye: pale yellow color. Nose: pears, floral, nectarines,citrus notes. Palate: two tastes, floral soft under tones, citrus, acidic fruit over tones. Good wine but not yet fully in harmony... (1027 views) |

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)Mosel Saar RuwerStarting in 2007 the German wine authorities have changed labeling laws to rename all of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines to just "Mosel." This puts this and other database driven sites in a difficult spot, as millions of old wine label reflect the former labeling. As described here, CellarTracker has elected to remain with the old labeling for a number of years to avoid confusion. At some point we will switch over to just "Mosel" but not for a few years at least.

#2018 Vintage Notes:
"Acid levels are relatively low throughout Riesling-growing Europe (acidification will once again be permitted in Germany – no surprise, as that’s been the case in eight of the last 10 vintages); but because malic acid was baked off or degraded by relentlessly balmy weather means, what acid remains is overwhelmingly of the efficacious tartaric sort. Extract levels are low, as one would anticipate from a growing season during which relatively little moisture was coursing through the vine’s roots and shoots. [...] Everyone is astonished how there could have been so much juice despite the drought." - David Schildknecht
"2018 is a homogenous vintage with a very high general level, below which it seldom falls [...] It leads with blossom. It is perhaps 80% delicious and 20% fascinating." - Terry Theise
#2017 Vintage Notes:
"not so friendly towards light wines" - Milkmansteve
#2016 Vintage Notes: "Overall, 2016 is a charmer of a vintage with much immediate ripe and fruity appeal, not unlike 2011 (in fresher) or 2007 (in lighter). However, 2016 is far from being homogeneous, in fact it is composed of a mosaic of vintages, a result of the freakish growing conditions. Hidden inside the vintage, there are true gems with the balance of 1997, one of the best vintages ever, 2002 or even 2008. The bulk of the harvest was brought in with refreshingly moderate sugar levels. Overall, the Saar and Ruwer produced slightly fresher wines than the Middle Mosel but there are great differences between Estates. The good harvest conditions allowed for some Auslese, little BA and even TBA wines, but some remarkably pure and fruity Eiswein.
In general, 2016 offers the opportunity to acquire Riesling with great immediate ripe appeal: The vintage is a true charmer. At the top, 2016 is one of the most exciting and elegantly balanced vintage since the 1990s and well-worth stocking up for cellaring! In particular, we urge our readers to literally plunge onto the finest Kabinett and Spätlese: These are some of the most exciting and classic we have ever tasted. 2016 looks also set to become a major vintage for dry Riesling, provided the aromatics are not overripe. Lovers of dessert wines will find much to love in 2016 as the Auslese are pure and the Eiswein are gorgeously fruity. They should however also keep an eye open for the remaining stunning noble-sweet wines from 2015 which are still available here and there." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 36, July 2017
#2014 Vintage Notes:
"The heterogeneity of the 2014 vintage carries over onto the aging process. The top wines start to close down, as one would expect from these wines which are a remake of those from the 1990s. The wines affected by gin, saffron and mushroom flavors are still comparatively open and offer a not unattractive Scheurebe styled fruit opulence. We would opt to drink up these lesser wines except for the odd bottle and bury the little treasures of the vintage deep into the cellar." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 30, March 2016
#2013 Vintage Notes:
"The fruity-styled 2013 wines have firmed up significantly since last year and start to show signs of closing down, making the underlying acidity seemingly sharp and out of balance. The better dry wines have come out of their early armor of smoke and tannin but the acidity may prove quite challenging. Quite frankly, except for some smaller bottlings, this is a vintage to lay down and wait." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2012 Vintage Notes:
"The 2012 wines have put on some flesh and go through a 'fattier' phase which is not unlike what the 2007 went through at the same period. However, the zestier acidity cuts through this 'weight' and makes the wines thoroughly enjoyable at this early stage. In particular the fruity Kabinett and Spatlese as well as the off-dry and dry wines offer much pleasure. We expect these wines to close down over the coming year or two. Enjoy while it lasts!" - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2011 Vintage Notes:
"A bit to our surprise, the 2011 wines have shut down and go through a quite difficult and muted phase now. Their low acidity combined with their maturity makes them feel rich, opulent and often bulky, and thus not really enjoyable. We expect that these will need at least a decade to integrate their sweetness and gain in harmony. The only exception is the dry wines, whose low acidity makes for great food companionship." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2010 Vintage Notes:
"After a mellower period in 2012, many 2010 wines have firmed up and developed a stronger smoky side. However, most continue to shine through their fruit opulence, structure and deliciously zesty but ripe acidity. This suits in particular the off-dry bottlings, which have more charm than the legally dry wines. Will these wines close down? Actually, the softening acidity makes us wonder now but it also provides further evidence that these wines will turn out harmonious after all." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2009 Vintage Notes:
"Most 2009 wines have closed down, which accentuates their round and soft side forward. Many can still be quite enjoyable but the times of primary fruit with its attractive aromatic expression and a generous acidic kick are now over. Except for the dry wines, we would definitely recommend keeping your hands off any bottle in your cellar and possibly buying more wines from this vintage on the market as these are true gems in the making." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015 |
