Second bottle from a four-bottle lot purchased at the estate in 2015. Youthful appearance, no signs of ageing. In keeping with the vintage, this is a light Silberlack, both in weight and in aromas, but it is true to type, elegant and harmonious, light finish with decent length. Fully mature, still a few more years in the tank.

Amazing! The best of the three vintages that I have tried. The petrol aroma has developed into a more present note, together with tropical fruit, stone fruit and ripe acidity. High acidity and soft mouthfeel of this acidity. It smells sweet, but it is beautifully dry. And such a gastronomically interesting wine for the coinnoissuer.

German wine tasting followed by a Lunch (@ de Nederlanden): Expressive bouquet with lemon and lime and white fruits. On the palate honey, minerals, pear, focused acidity and slightly drying. Still very youthful, but certainly a clean and very beautiful wine. 91+

The 2014 Silberlack Trocken Riesling from Schloss Johannisberger is still an infant and has just entered the beginning of a long ddrinking window. Honeysuckle, apricot, lemon peel and green apple aromas stand out. There's a burst of acid on the palate that's balanced by fiercely concentrated flavors of honey laced citrus fruit. Enjoyable now, but will improve over time as the hard edges round out. Drink now or hold.

A German Wine Tasting-cum-Lunch (Restaurant De Nederlanden *, Vreeland, NL): Quite a feminine style, elegant and floral, youthful but not tight or austere, juicy and fresh, with well-integrated acidity, airy, reticent but well-defined, opens up nicely, steely acidity, very good length. Lovely wine.

Stunning wine. Lemon pith, white florals, river pebbles and quatrz on a palate that is crisp, long, dry and pure. Lovely.
