We had 10 different 2003 German and Austrian dry Rieslings.

Breuer Schloßberg
This was by far the best. Not overripe, not haggard, low in alcohol and very balanced. 95

Hirtzberger Singerriedel
The most powerful wine in this range. 90

Freiherr Heyl Pettenthal
Positiv surprise. Balanced. 91

Reichsrath von Buhl Reiterpfad
Pfalz, too broad, similar to Paradiesgarten. 90

Reichsrath von Buhl Paradiesgarten
Pfalz, too broad a bit over his peak. 90

Nikolaihof Steiner Hund
Easy detectable as Austrian Riesling. More powerful, less elegant than the German ones. 90

Keller Hubacker
This is normally my favourite Riesling wine from 2003, today second best, exotic fruits, candy floss. At his peak. 94

Keller Kirchspiel
Less elegant than the Hubacker and more evolved but still nicely drinkable. Would drink it now. 92

Bürklin Wolf Kirchenstück
More evolved than expected. Same problem with the 2004 I had 3 weeks ago. Normally Kirchenstück ripes really slow. Still good drinkable. 92

Markus Molitor Graacher Domprobst Auslese dry **
Some burgundy style, some nuts and honey. 91
