2017 Schäfer-Fröhlich Schloßböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs

4/25/2024 - -Tim- Likes this wine: 94 points

Felsenberg ia a steep (40-60%), south exposed, blue slate vineyard.

Lots of interwoven layers of kumquat, nectarines, grapefruit, slate, firestone, mint, red pepper, fresh acidity (8.3 g/L TA vs 5 g/L RS), and green spices. Excellent GG, one of the best of 2017; no surprise Bilger rated this 20p, Suckling 98p, and Lobenberg 100p!

PnP had over 3-4 hours out of a Gabriel Glas.
Fleshier nose, displaying lemon curd and lime zest.
Wow. Lemon curd laced with electricity in the mouth. Fantastic purity of flavor and length.
Drinking well now and likey to improve for a decade or more.

Smells like a lean lemon icee, like a promise of things to come.
Palate follows suit, a linear laser of acid and mineral that manages to convey nuance and variation while staying within a very narrow spectrum of flavor. The dry mineral streak comes to the fore on the long and persistent finish.
A very nice entry point to this producer’s catalog, polished and precise. Use it to cut through whatever you may be eating.
Still feels like it may gain weight and openness with more time. Note to self- hold til 2026 at least.

Glassware: Zalto Universal
Prep: Decant 4 hours before first pour

Not going to elaborate much more than what the MFW notes say, as they are spot on! Airy and playful but with depth. Smoky minerality complemented by wonderfully pure aromas and flavors of orange citrus, mustard seed, jasmine, and thyme. Can’t get enough of this and really look forward to what some cellar age does for it.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2014 (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): Glass: Gabriel Universal
Bottle opened ~10h before the tasting. Clear, pale golden color. Classic SF nose with noticeable sulphur. On the palate on a similar level with the Halenberg. Very solid, very good, still upscale potential. 93+

4/19/2024 - PLLU Likes this wine: 93 points

Medium lemon appearance
Pronounced intensity of petroleum, white pepper, honey, lemon, grapefruit, red apples, wet stone, mineral and a touch of honey.
On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity, medium alcohol and body. The flavor intensity is medium + and the finish is medium +.
The quality is outstanding and can drink beautifully now but can age for a long time.

The tertiary petroleum flavors are present and adds additional complexity to this great wine.

Friday evening in falconera, Germany 🇩🇪. No formal tasting note. Citrus, green apple, hay, salinity. Still very young and acid. Like it but can age a bit longer.

I don't find the famous Felsenberg smokiness but tons of citrus fruit in all forms and colour, wet stone, reductive notes of flint and some petrol. Yet this is young, too young maybe and I will come back after 2026.
/
Light yet dense, enormous length and very high, demanding acidity
/
Benefits from caraffing and needs 14° rather than 10° Celsius in my opinion.

4/7/2024 - Invest wrote: 91 points

PnP, 13% Alc., natural good cork, light pale yellow color.

Nose: Dancing and easy, flower meadow in spring, white stone fruit, minerality and freshness.

Palate: Fresh minerality and saltiness, touch citrus, cool, easy but good intensity and length. harmonious and very animating drinking flow. Far away from classic Pinot Gris with its often opulent and heavy texture.

Very good!

Sehr helles bis grünliches Strohgelb. Explosiv in der Nase, Zitrusfrüchte, Weintrauben, Strohblumen, Wiesenkräuter. Am Gaumen toller Zug, frische, fast schon elektrisierende Säure (sehr zitrusfruchtig), auch etwas Pfirsich, Honigmelone. Ein grossartiger Riesling in erster Reife.

Very similar to the bottle from 2015 -- this has barely budged. With its freshness, it makes for a good wine to fool people by serving blind. They'll not guess the vintage. Cellared since original release.

nailed it, typical nose. A bit lack of acidity due to the warm vintage. Needs a few hours of decantation. 92-93

Intense, sweet lemon and lime. Very fresh and clean. Feels more rounded and probably at peak now but lacks some of the complexity of the best vintages. Still very much great stuff!

Direkter Vergleich zu 2007 Emrich Schönleber Halenberg

Viel mehr Schiefer in der Nase. Würziger, aggressiver, etwas pfeffriger. Langer, phenolischer Abgang. Ohne Frage: großer Wein. Im direkten Vergleich und personal Taste gefällt der Emrich Schönleber Halenberg 07 etwas besser, weil er zwar erst zurückhaltender, dann aber in sich konzentrierter und
tiefer im Abgang ist. Unerwartet deutliche Unterschiede trotz gleicher Lage und Jahrgang wahrzunehmen.

Goldgelb. Kühle, steinige Nase. Am Gaumen geht’s gerade aus in den ganz großen Fächer. Wenig Frucht, packende Säure gepaart mit ausdrucksstarkem Terroir und der ganz großen Reise an Aromen. Super vielschichtig, ohne Trinkfluss zu stören. Hält sicherlich noch gute 5 Jahre und länger.

White asparagus on the menu and then you only have one choice of drink. Fantastically beautiful nose. Stone, white fruit, menthol, ripeness. The taste is crisp, nice balance between sweet and acid, stony minerals. Lovely length.

Opened 1 hour in advance. Fresh, almost vibrant and energetic. Medium+ acidity, great integrated. It delivers lots of different citrus fruits, a flowery tone, wet stone, a little ripe musk melon and some petroleum (which disappears after a while). Super intense, but yet very fresh and elegant. Great balance and length. Clearly in the drinking window, but with a lot of life left. Lovely wine.

Not many bottles of this still in the CT inventory, so mainly academic and for myself. Aromas of honey and golden raisins point to the botrytis here, with yellow apple dominant beneath those top notes. The palate is broad, juicy, and full, with a fleshy texture and flavors indicating the ripeness of the vintage: yellow peach and even a hint of mango. There is a tangy acidity here that's mostly buried by the massive fruit, but it's present enough to keep everything lively. The finish is long and expensive, with impressive concentration on the mid palate. At age 18 and change, it's hard to say this is young. But I do think it has positive evolution ahead of it yet. The 05 Auslese must be staggering given the concentration and ripeness here.

Nicht übertrieben parfümierte, reduktive Nase. Chlor, Sand, etwas Gummischlauch. Dahinter ganz fein getrocknet gelb-gewürzige Traminernoten. Im Mund überraschend spritzig und für Traminer sehr frisch, viel Mundgefühl, schmirgelnd-schleifend, etwas salzig, Grapefruit, hinten raus Traminer, Rosenblüte. Das wirkt ein bisschen wie eine Mischung aus savagnin und Gewürztraminer..
