From half bottle. In the nose apricot and citrus fruits, on the palate nice also apricot and citrus, additional a bit blood orange and honey, nice Nahe minerality, great play between high sweetness and vibrant acidity. Full Body and a rather long finish. Strange that this is only an Auslese** and not an Auslese***. Unfortunately this bottle had also slight notes of cabbage which got worse with increasing temperature in the glas. I’m not sure whether that was an off bottle or if that’s just the way this wine is. Fortunately this was bottle 1 of 3 for me so I will find out… Without this off-flavor I would’ve rated this wine probably at 94-95 points.

A private dinner at a friend's (Warmond, NL): Incredible freshness and minerality, so youthful and vibrant, flowers and ripe citrus, hint of honeyed ripeness, has lovely line and length. A beauty.

I thought this was lacking. Interesting grapefruit and lemon peel flavors with notes of diesel. This wine tasted like it was 20+ years old, didn't have the freshness i expected. Drink now

Brought this 375 ml bottle back after a tasting in this Nahe winery in 2008.Didn't take notes last night, but this really was an incredible wine, with an outstanding, complex nose and an amazing, full bodied, well integrated, creamy palate to match. Mainly tropical fruit flavours on show, with a hint of botrytis and minerality. The complexity on show here was stunning, and it was an absolute joy to drink. Ready now but will last too (A).

A tasting at Weingut Emrich-Schönleber (Monzingen): Amazing wine, energetic, rich, superior, puts the wonderful straight 2007 Auslese in a cocked hat!
