2018 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese

4/25/2024 - deagle88 Likes this wine: 88 points

petrol. peach honey green apple lemon.
당도에서 오는 텁텁함을 끝에 적당한산미가 잡아주어서 밸런스를 잡아줌.
케잌과 곁들였으며, 페어링이 좋았음. 와인만 마시기에는 많이 마시지 못하겠다.

Lovely aromatics. Petrol, white flowers, lemon curd, and stone fruit. Great weight while staying bright and energetic. Loved it!

1975 Schloss Eltz Rauenthaler Baiken Riesling Auslese

4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NR

Ye Olde Riesling Dinner (SDK - Castro): After uncorking, there was initially a hit of turpentine on the nose, however it blows off, and you get aromas of caramel and petrol. The color is getting dark (a light brown), but the palate is still lively and fresh, with mature flavors reminding me of apricot, sour orange, burnt sugar, spices, and ginger. The sweetness, though, is not particularly pronounced. This is probably on the downslope, but it seems to be a rather graceful descent into senescence. Charming and delightful.

Ye Olde Rieslings: Thrilling acidity and crystalline raciness, with orange peel, peaches and cream, and a touch more petrol and secondary notes than a bottle 4 years ago. Lots of intensity, but perhaps just a touch less body than the 01's. Love this lighter style of auslese.

Ye Olde Rieslings: The oldest Riesling I've tried. Supposedly a good year, with much less botrytis than '76. Some bottle funk that blew off reasonably quickly. Autumnal, with some mushroom, caramel, and a hefty dose of petrol. Light botrytis, just a hint of marmalade and spice. Still shows some seams of ripe orchard fruit and vibrant acidity. A lot of the sweetness has melted away. Hanging on but probably on a slow graceful descent.

Jersey Boys (Grand Sichuan, Jersey City, NJ): Dark. Molasses and figs. Spicy and horseradish. The palate is FUCKING INSANE - kumquats; tangerine and amazing and sweetness. Spicy peppers. So great.

Nose muted and a little burnt sugar. Palate has good acid and has great cinnamon and peach. A little boney but great verve and cut. Long spicy cinnamon finish. Personally I liked this better than the 20 Schloss Lieser Auction GD Kabinett.

4/20/2024 - salil wrote: 95 points

Grand Sichuan, Jersey City edition (Grand Sichuan, Grove St.): A dinner with Seth, Jay, and I - of course, Seth brought an old Catoir, and the only question was whether he'd bring a Riesling, Scheurebe, or Rieslaner. Ludicrous amounts of sweetness and richness; absurdly high acidity; somehow it all comes into balance and it works. I have no idea how, other than that Hans-Gunter Schwarz is a wizard. It's packed with ripe tropical fruit, those fiery spicy notes of Rieslaner (and the slight rough phenolic texture I usually associate with it), layers of botrytised honey and caramelly sweetness, and the whole package is just spectacular - intensely rich and sweet, yet feeling absolutely electric and shockingly light on its feet. A Cronenberg of a Rieslaner, and a goddamn delicious one.

Grand Sichuan, Jersey City edition (Grand Sichuan, Grove St.): Seemed heat-damaged, or at the very least unreasonably advanced and not representative of what this wine should be. Tastes more like stale apple juice than anything I would expect in a mature Riesling. Shame, because old Von Schuberts can be so thrilling. (WineBid sticker on the back.)

2013 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

4/20/2024 - Thegreen1985 Likes this wine: 97 points

German white wine from Mosel: Riesling. 7,5 % alcohol.

AP number #01 15. 750 ml bottle. Consumed over two days. Each half of the bottle was decanted separately per evening and stored in the decanter during the evening of consumption.

Pale golden/greenish color.

Delicate, sweet and fresh aromas of candied pears, brioche, ripe lemons, bicycle shop, white flowers and minerals. Refreshing, sweet and very powerful flavors of candied pears, ripe lemon, petroleum, yogurt, brioche, white flowers and minerals.

Semi-sweet. Medium body. Medium+ acidity. Excellent balance. Very good structure. Good complexity. Excellent concentration. Very intense. Pure. Airy. Rich.

Very long finish with lemon and minerals.

Day one: An extremely enjoyable Auslese. A liquid version of a summer day at Capri or Hvar. Refreshing, concentrated, airy and intense. More than enough acidity to balance the sweetness. Performs best fridge cold. Improves with air. Excellent with Thai food (green curry with shrimps). 10 years old? No signs of age here, can probably last for an eternity in anyone’s cellar. Absolutely delicious. 97/100

Day two: Riper but also less intense and vibrant. 96/100

This Auslese was the potion of the gods. Over 30 years old, and then so clear, powerful, complex and brought into complete harmony with perfect acidity. Cool, energetic, mouthwatering, the sweetness largely reduced; with a very, very long finish.

4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NR

A magnum donated from the Müller cellars. This is the first vintage from which Müller released some magnums and man was this good. It has notes of custard apple, citrus blossom, smoky mineral, slate and lime brulee. It is so deep and unctuous, with almost painful intensity. It drives through the palate and powers on and on.

"Pairs with Sadness" (Chicago, IL): Been a while since I tasted this; it's very much exactly what I was expecting. The fruit is ripe, but it is done in such a controlled manner that there's nary a hint of the torrid conditions of the vintage. In Europe, the Mosel probably fared the best in the heatwave, and of course we all know the comparisons to 1959. Plenty of the Prüm minerality here -- I've always liked their execution of this vineyard in comparison to Willi Schaefer's.

I'm not sure what this wine tasted like when I bought it and whether I intended to keep it this long. The color was surprisingly advanced for a 10 year-old Auslese. I thought it might have been flawed or oxidized, but this was not apparent to me on the nose or palate. The cork was intact. Most of the acidity is gone and the sweetness hides what remains of rather unidimensional flavors.
Addendum: last glass drunk on its own one day later shows a bit more precise character. There IS a hint of acidity left and I can imagine how this might have been a bit more impressive at a young age, with more acidity. It was probably a mistake to pair this with a sauerkraut meal, but I still feel it's too unidimensional so I will leave my score unchanged.

Good bottle, plan to drink the other in the next year or two. Acid was a little light for the blue cheese, but still enough there to hold up.

Mesmerizingly beautiful - this is Mosel and dessert wine at its best.
Endless content and intensity, lead by apricot, but also pears, pineapple, mango and a hint of ginger. Wonderful balance and a never ending aftertaste.

What a treat. Wow.

2018 Dr. Hermann Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

4/4/2024 - WindFlyer Likes this wine: 92 points

[tasted blind]

pale gold with sheeting on glass. filigreed floral nose with ripe yellow stonefruit and honey and just a whiff of petrol. in mouth it is of medium sweetness and body and with notable acidity. lush-feeling, if just subtly delineated, the ripe apricot and marmalade fruit is leavened by a vein of lime and its acidic and pithy notes. faint ginger accents creep into the long, fresh finish (low AbV in evidence).

[the whiff of petrol and high acidity point to youngish Riesling, and the concentration and sweetness to a late-harvest one. that narrows it down to Alsace, Austria and Germany. the low AbV takes Alsace out, and in combination with the filigree, Austria is also eliminated. that leaves Germany, and it's clearly in the Prädikatswein quality tier. no obvious botrytis notes rule out BA level, and the concentration seems to rule out Spätlese… leaving Auslese, and likely from the Mosel. the subtle delineation of flavours also point to a developing wine… which it is!].
