 Tasted by wineshlub on 11/5/2022 & rated 94 points: Popped and poured. Rich apple aroma with a touch of honey. Complex mix of flavors includes pear, apricot, minerals. Tingly mineral finish. Robust, rich, firm backbone, some tertiary flavors. This has matured beautifully and is in a great spot right now. (203 views)
 Tasted by huse on 9/13/2013 & rated 93 points: Extremely well-structured dry Pfalz Riesling coming from the single vineyard “Wachenheimer Gerümpel” (not mentioned on the label of the bottle) ; a wine with a great personality. Brilliant straw yellow color with green-golden reflections and an amazingly complex nose displaying scents of nectarine, mirabelle, lemon zest, thyme and lots of exotic spices. The powerful palate is dominated by concentrated citrus and stone fruit, perfectly balanced by a racy but superbly integrated acidity and a solid mineral framework. Wonderfully long, refreshing finish. Just heavenly. Drink it now through 2016.

Een droge Pfalz-Riesling met een schitterende structuur, afkomstig uit de "Wachenheimer Gerümpel- wijngaard” (wordt echter niet vermeld op het etiket); een wijn met een geweldige persoonlijkheid. Briljante strogele kleur met wat goudgroene schakeringen en een buitengewoon complexe neus met aroma’s van nectarine, mirabelle, citroenschil, tijm en flink wat exotische kruiden. Krachtig smaakpatroon, gedomineerd door geconcentreerd citrus- en steenfruit, en perfect uitgebalanceerd door een pittige maar perfect geïntegreerde aciditeit en een stevige minerale ruggengraat. Bijzonder lange, verfrissende afdronk. Een hemelse wijn. Te drinken: nu tot 2016. (3235 views)

Georg Mosbacher

Producer website

I had not visited the well-regarded estate now run by Sabine Mosbacher and Jurgen Duringer for close to a decade, and was quite impressed with the quality at this address. They spoke openly about concerns in 2007 that botrytis might compromise dryness not to mention quality, two reasons why they chose to utilize cultured yeasts for some cuvees rather than letting as many as usual of their fermentations take-off spontaneously. Had a low level of botrytis not been tolerated in the Grosse Gewachse here, those bottlings would probably have been closer to the understated but intriguing personalities of the rest of this year’s Mosbacher collection, but as it is they are certainly imposingly rich. - David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)
