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 dry(ish), nice, sweet yellow fruit, fine elegant mineral notes, some slight notes of maturity, good balance. Lacks a bit of tension on the palate, but is very long and lingering. Potential for at least 5+ years. 91-92

Tasted at the winery. The white capsule indicates it was finished dry, not sweet. Light bodied, fuller and richer than the Kabinett. Stone and tropical fruits on the nose, with a touch of oak and a hint of petrol. A nice, decent wine.

Best 2008 German Riesling GG; 9/9/2018-9/11/2018 (Concept Riesling Düsseldorf): Get blindly before the big 2008 GG tasting.
Golden in colour, typical Riesling, a touch too warm served, phenolic and a bit too broad from mid to late palate with a good acidity structure, I guessed 09 or 11 vintage. 90-91

“Ten Years After” 2008 Dry Riesling Große Gewächse Tasting (Concept Riesling, Dusseldorf, Germany): Typical Molitor extract, some depth but like so often I didn´t get the wine. Some ripe fruit and also some yellow flowers but its too bold without any play between acidity and the power. Okay but nothing more imo. Will not improve.
