Cellared since release. Rather powerful and big (13.0% stated alcohol), as is typical for 2005. Oily texture, stony and mineral aromas and flavors. Still has good acidity and a slight bitterness on the finish which makes the wine more attractive with food than on its own. APN 007 06.

Intensely mineral and full bodied, not particularly exuberant at present but lots of stuffing and clear potential to gain some complexity in the future.

(Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Spatlese Trocken) This was drinking very well. Nice acidity, very dry, floral nose and lovely purity. Excellent grippy fruit presence and chunky minerality round out the package. Kept opening and expanding as it aerated. No reason to hold any longer. I'll drink my next bottle over the next year.

Very nice. The nose is not very expressive, but the palate is excellent. Great minerality. Remarkably food-friendly. Quite dry.

Slight but noticeable TCA infection. There is a lovely wine underneath that would easily warrant a score of 90.
