Community Tasting Notes (average 88.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Ardross on 7/5/2013: OK but disappointingly one dimensional - perhaps it was the hot year . (2269 views)
 Tasted by Motz on 1/26/2013 & rated 91 points: Beautiful color, deep gold with shades of orange, which suggests excellent concentration. Nose of petrol indeed, but very diesel like, which I really enjoyed, along with fruit and floral notes. The diesel element comes to life on the palate. Great, almost excellent, mouthfeel. Good acid and slightly off dry, typical for the region. This wine has some life remaining, but it is drinking beautifully right now. It even improved a bit by the second day. (2321 views)
 Tasted by Ardross on 3/17/2011: Interesting but the warmth of the vintage has unbalanced the wine slightly > too much fruit and spice not enough steel. (2956 views)
 Tasted by dbarco on 7/16/2006 & rated 90 points: I like this wine - but would prefer a bit less sweetness and a bit more acidity, at least tonight. Delightful tropical and floral aromas with peach, a bit of petrol, some minerality. I found pear and peach as well, with a bit of apple. Also an earthy smokiness. Long and delightful finish. This is not boring! It makes a statement of what it is, who made it, and where it's from. (3875 views)
 Tasted by mdstenner on 12/3/2005 & rated 89 points: Birthday Night out (Tulsa, OK): A young, expressive nose with hints of petroleum and tropical fruits with air. Oily and viscous in the mouth, closer to Spatlese than Kabinett. Medium-bodied with exotic honeyed fruits and a lingering finish. (5840 views)
 Tasted by jayh808 on 3/26/2005: Pale yellow green with nose of green apple, pear, lemon/lime and a hint of mint. All follows through on the palate with orchids and honey added in. Good balance of acidity and fruit with a great expression of terrior. (2976 views)
 Tasted by Yagil on 10/10/2004 & rated 91 points: surprising with round bodyfull & pleasant taste. (1441 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)
