This time the MAGNUS is from MAGNUM: a top notch Riesling bottle, that stunning fresh and young, lets confirm this one even as zesty, mineralic driven, showing as a reference the dry Nahe style which is my favourite dry one, but......, this is not only my opinion on this bottle, the rest of our large crowd today enjoyed in silence, just have to look in their enlightend faces......, like being at a church service, moderate bodied on the midpalate, stony delicious grapefruit, ending long saline with a mouthwatering acidity, if you like this style enjoy from now on and over the next decade! For me this Schneider Hermannshöhle Magnum is superior to the until now tasted Dönnhoff 2010 samples! ****(*), 94-96+?

First sip totally disapointment !!!!! But then .... with time ... after 3 h of decanting it became a real nice mature riesling. Nice balance with a medium finish . Fruit driven but also minerals showing up.I dont think this will improve . Needs to be drunk in the next 2-3 years

(Schneider Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Trocken "Magnus") ($37.00) This is their GG equivalent as they’re not a VDP estate, or are not yet. The ’09 was Very Serious Business and this one should be even better, though it was less evolved as were many ‘10s. Still cloudy, but looks like being stern and masculine, with capaciousness, grip and length.

a perfect Riesling bottle, last night on the beach, yellow peach, harmonic, still young appearance, dense and energetic, a mature Riesling reference! ****(+?)
