Perfect balance in acidity. Lovely light topicality but with an excellent minerality. Long and elegant finish.

Tasted blind. The nose is quite tropical and misleading because it’s bone dry. White peaches and lychee, and on the palate some crushed stones but lacking the structure of a GG. Food wine.

1990 German Wines (Prima, Walnut Creek, Ca.): Nice, rich, applle/fruit, lots of acid in the mouth, very rich, viscous finish, good acid, needs 7+ years, too sweet for me.

2nd of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, as Dec 22 bottle, nice enough but not up to his Hutte, quite grassy in good way but no fireworks, ,but more dimension on second night, needs a bit more time and then probably worthy of upgrade, 10+ years. VGI (17).

2001 Von Hövel Oberemmeler Hütte Riesling Monopollage Kabinett

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

1/26/2024 - andtheodor wrote: 93 points

Deep gold, with some honeyed apricot and hydrocarbon aromas that made me think this was going to be just another old Riesling but the palate really dazzled. Rich and weighty, cascades of fruit sweetness that get dissected by powerful acidity. While it seems like the sugar is going to run the show, by the finish it's all about mineral dimension and lift, the sweetness fades to an afterthought. Fantastic with Thai Larb salad.

Orientation: South, southeast
Soil: Gray slate, quartzite, clay, silt
Farming Practice: Certified Sustainable by FAIR'N GREEN
Vinification: 80% stainless steel, 20% neutral barrel
Elevage: 6 months, 80% stainless, 20% neutral barrel
Alcohol: 7.5%
Acidity: 10.3 g/L
Residual Sugar: 49.5 g/L

Colour: light straw, bright. Clear.
Nose: q reticent. Fresh, floral, slatey notes, citrus.
Taste: light body, rounded, good taut varietal and citrus notes, great fruit/acidity balance, subtle long finish, v dry, citrus with the merest hint of petrol.
Overall, this comes across as lightweight, particularly compared to the Oberemmeler Hütte 2021, but is not. Needs time and decanting if drunk now.

Color: Pale yellow/gold.
Nose: Pretty citrus and floral notes. Some coconut and petrol in the background.
Palate: Lively and zesty on the palate at first but falls off a bit on the finish. Lime candy flavors are less complex than the nose would suggest. Moderately sweet.
Overall: A very enjoyable and quaff-able wine that would go well with spicy food.

1st half of 3, pnp, perfect cork and level - pale, spritzy and unctuous, youthful; orchard and tropical fruits, fine citric lift, hint of kerosene, v complex; light, ridiculously long, persistent (3 minutes plus!!!) and concentrated, fine complexity and class, upside, 20+ years? VF (18.5) at least and truely special.

A reminder why Germany is greatest producer of Riesling, and why the Saar region is so special. Clear gold color. Very inviting nose edged with white flower and apricot. Resolutely framed by scintillating acidity that awakens the palette and cleans out the mouth. Delicious citric fruit and juicy Granny Smith apple flavors. Caressingly glides down the throat. Utterly gulpable, and a strong candidate for the best wine on the table when drunk beside others.

Normally, my purchases of Mosel/Ruwer/Saar rieslings go into storage for a few years/decades, so I'm not quite sure why this came so easily to hand.
Very pale green straw.
Classy and classic riesling nose. Green apple, petrol and a touch of peach.
Everything you'd expect from a young Kabinett. A touch oily, a touch of sweetness immediately balanced by zingy acidity, lots of green apple flavours, but also a bit of an apple peel chewiness.

Light gold color. Minimally crunchy apple bouquet. This has lost its baby fat but it is still very youthful. Very concentrated with Incredible acidity matched with Incredible fruit. Flavors of tart green apple, citrus, sleep, minerals, Stone. It's got such intensity of flavor it almost is crunchy. And Incredibly long acidic finish. Unfortunately I cannot do justice with the description. It is an absolute amazing phenomenal bottle of wine. It is truly a home run. This should last for decades. Can drink now or enjoy over time. Over the top all-time QPR winner. A must-have.

11/1/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 points

12% abv. AP 10. savage, dry, burr flavor in contrast with elegant texture. Intensely cool and bitter, broken white stone; impacted mint peat; kirsch; mustard shoots; silk paper mill; green yuzu; curry; red currant; blood orange; vengeful pulses of lime blood. But really, it's a gentle, dry, reclining gesture. Always linear. Oily on the margins. 90-94.

8.5% abv. AP 09. Contrary to my own advice (in the last note) I did not wait until 2025 to drink my last bottle. But it's all ok. I'm sure it would have been good then, or until 2035, or longer. Where at least I know how freely it tastes sensational today!
It opens slightly dank, as expected, before blooming immediately. Broiled pineapple stumps, the petrol, intensely green floral. Generous sweetness appears a medium of communication rather than an object of its own. It adjusts. The experience gathers pace and freshness. Absurd ornaments of reflective grapefruit, bing cherries, yellow mango, and chalk steel provide inertia without mass. It's amazing, really. My only concern is a slick sheen bedrock. I wonder how that could have developed if I had waited a few more years to drink it. (I'm saving a few ounces for tomorrow—pending update.)
_______
24 hours later. Still tastes great. More lemon intensity.

10/29/2023 - janhenro Likes this wine: 91 points

Von Hövel’s «basic» Scharzhofberg from 2012 is in the right place right now.
Candied lemon, lime, muted petro, schisty mineral notes and a whiff of white flower still.
Rich and complex fruit and mineral-driven wine, but fresh and elegant Mosel style. Excuisite balance. Went just lovely with crayfish bisque on a more windy and cool than expected fall evening

Better than expected. More fruit density than typical in a kabinett, but it’s all upfront and sour apple with petrol. Lacks complexity but great acidity. Good front end but fades a bit quickly so no length. Much better with food - Szechuan noodles tonight was a great match. Drink to 2025 (whilst still fruit). 91-92pts
