Drank it side by side with VV Altenberg GG 2008. I preferred this one because it was fresher and more precise. Citrus and peach. Too sweet but sstill good acidity structure. 90-91

“Ten Years After” 2008 Dry Riesling Große Gewächse Tasting (Concept Riesling, Dusseldorf, Germany): Complex, ripe and a bit too sweet imo. I remember this wine opening up beautifully with air, the last time I had it two years ago. Also no real edge or cut here. Very round and a bit "pleasing". Nevertheless more elegant than the Molitor and for me definitely the better wine in this flight, although it wasn´t a spectacular showing. I´m not sure how it will evolve in the future.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2008 - Part II (Concept Riesling, Düsseldorf): Glass: Gabriel Universal Standard *** All wines tasted blind, bottles opened a few hours before serving, served decanted *** Clear, pale golden color. On the palate very soft, round and balanced, not really dry, lacks a bit of tension, good mineral core. Seems very young. Potential: 5+ years. 89-90

This is better than I remember! The yellow fruit has mellowed, there is still some acidity, and a nice textured feel

Best 2008 German Riesling GG; 9/9/2018-9/11/2018 (Concept Riesling Düsseldorf): In this case I preferred it to the Molitor WS Spätlese dry same vintage. More filigree than the Molitor, Grapefruit, unripe pineapple,tangerine, at his Peak but no hurry. 91+
