Only wine in this tasting with a screw cap. Clear, medium golden color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. Dense and compact. Lots of spices, yellow stone fruit, some herbs and fine crushed stones. Dry. Medium+, racy and perfectly integrated acidity. On the palate a perfect unity of aromas: Herbs, spices, mineral notes, yellow stone fruit, zests. Long and lingering. Very balanced, lots of grip, good tension, round and resting in itself. Is maybe a bit less energetic than the Schlossberg, but this is just marginal. Would love to taste it again in 5/10 years. 94-95 (905 views) | | Tasted by m_arcon on 5/5/2018 & rated 96 points: “Ten Years After” 2008 Dry Riesling Tasting (mostly Germany) (Private Location): Peter-Jakob Kühn was one of the pioneers of „natural“ wine in Germany. He very early began to experiment with no interventions in the vineyard, no herbicides, etc. I think in the actual vintages the estate found a good compromise between „natural“ and normal wine making, bringing the best of both worlds together. But in the vintages shortly after he turned his wine making some of his bottles can be a real rollercoaster, so I was quite curious how the 08 Schlehdorn shows. And he didn´t let me down. Kühn always has a very own style, and also here you have these very strong but mild herbal, green tea, and in this case, sesame components. Everything is underlaid by the ripe (but not overripe) fruit. This isn´t a loud wine in any sense on the palate. Multi layered, floating down the palate like pure silk. Everything is wonderfully interwoven. Harmony and balance are the two key words here. Not a wine for posers, no, more for the introverted drinker. But an absolutely great one in any sense of the word. (914 views) |
