2008 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Großes Gewächs 92 Points

Quite mineral, young, tightly wound, lost of freshness, some veggies in the undercurrent, tiny alcoholic whiff on the finish. Liked it!

2009 Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Großes Gewächs 91 Points

Vegetal, animal nuances on the beautiful nose, intriguing, on the palate less so, tight lemon-apple cordial.
Off-bottle? Closed for business?

caramel, cinnamon, candyshop, quite warm on the palate, but sufficient focus and delineation. Harmonious, great.

Seems tired, kinda flabby and plump, hot finish, like Poire Williams. Pushing to hard.

classy, spicy nose, full of finesse and complexity, on the palate there's lots of peachyoghurt, slightly overbearing IMHO

2008 Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz Siebeldinger Im Sonnenschein Ganz Horn Riesling Großes Gewächs 85 Points
Germany, Pfalz
Greenish.. underripe? Sauvignon-like in the nose, unfriendly bitterness in the aftertaste. This was not very appealing...

kinda shy on the nose, unique and singular mouthfeel, very pure and powdery, this seems very, very young... Wait.

2006 Wagner-Stempel Siefersheimer Heerkretz Riesling Großes Gewächs 92 Points
Germany, Rheinhessen
Again, a wonderful wine, although balance and precision were not from the same level as in the preceding wine. Flowers, spice, lemon oil.
