A Riesling GG summernight: from doublemagnum, golden colour, very ripe appearance, lacking the power Riesling should have, expected a lot more due to this big bottle, ripe tropical fruit, slightly acidity in the background, long, for a lot of people a good wine but after all for me a little disappointing, drink up, *-**, 80- 83+?

light bottle aged nose, puh......expected a lot more, in the foreground still the aroma of Riesling bottle age, concentrated and cremy texture, long finish, but lacking a lot of the normal Riesling flavours......

(Rebholz Burkweiler Kastanienbsuch Grosses Gewachs) An ethereal nose. High-toned lavender, herbs, peaches, orange-blossoms, lime zest, intense minerals. A complex nose if I have ever smelt one. The palate is amazing. Pure harmony. Oozes class and elegance. There is a mass of concentrated fruit along with zesty minerality and wonderful creaminess. Just dissolves on the finish. So powerful and structured. One of the best dry Rieslings I have ever tasted. I own some and am very happy about that.
(Rebholz Kastanienbusch Grosses Gewachs) This wine was absolutely singing when it was opened. Just stunning nose of chamomile, orange blossom, peach pit and tons of minerality. The palate was rich and deep with a pillowy texture and great concentration of fruit along with a neverending finish. The essence of Riesling. Then SLAM!! . . . .This wine just went into hiding and never came out. Not sure but from a vertical at the estate I would say revisit in four or five years as the 2001 was really singing in that vertical. Great wine but needs some time to get back into view for longer than ten minutes.

Ripe dry Riesling from Germany, Austria and Alsace (@Private location): Very good dry Riesling from great vintage. Has still some potential but will not improve much.
