  at 15 years old still another 35 years of utter drinking pleasure to go in 750ml format this with g-max 2010 and 04 will go forever in a well kept cellar
  2009 the great year of perfect weather high fruit in the wines warm not to hot, ensures several top grosses g dry gr cru have long legs in the cellar and that is the difference between some other vintages that while they may be lighter more delicate some lack power!A truly great wine has a big presence ,this is one of those !
  The present tasting from what i have left is still far away from peeking this is simply because of that massive fruit some call it petrol style who cares if you have not got this in any white wine that wine cant last more than say 25 years
  this wine actually improves with age so far not many do that some of the old greats of france 28 is one did it
  the construction of this wine is consummate long full in the mouth pleasant not to high alc what a long middle and medium finish its not bone dry but it is dry with a fruit all over feel its crisp and has its own charaktor
  iv had some weak ggs in my time never off keller or shaefer -frohlich or Donnhoff i love mature older wines best wait until this is 25 years old it will be something else
  this wine is more in the gr cru la montrachet style if that makes sense its a pinnacle of achievement for the maker and a iconic clasic in the making
  you need to be eating lobster thermadore or a poulet de bresse to get the big kick out of this do try !i think in my life its in the top 3 dry riesling of my lifes drinking and iv sat at some important tastings in germany in my day
  drinking this without food is a conversation piece most people stay silent its such a shock in quality 2009 that great gg year will not be forgotten superb year in france and germany

  Et ordentlig rasedyr. Svær og litt parfymert rieslingfrukt, spice, ånde, floraltoner og en dæsj petromineralitet. Fantastisk syre og konsentrasjon. Beveger seg nå etterhvert vekk fra primærfruktstadiet.

  I love this wine. For me it is the best Riesling from the warm vintage 2009. But this it is less lean and focussed. More yellow ripe fruits and too sweet in the finish. Coincidentally someone brought Felseneck 2006. It felt much fresher and less sweet in the finish. This bottle was not over his peak but was not perfect. Could be fresher. 93-94

  This has come in a bit in three years. No longer grapefruit now a nice mix of lemon fruit, zest and pith. Just a hint of petrol, 2 stroke, and fine and lingering flavour. Good depth and balance. Should evolve for another decade.

  I have been trying to get my hands on this for over 5 years and finally got some. Easily the best I have tasted, one of the best finest dry rieslings ever made, it is up there with g max 2004. Still young and cannot wait to try more.
