| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Eightyblocker on 5/10/2022 & rated 91 points: Deep yellow in color with some sediment evident, this Riesling is still drinking very well after 17 years. (267 views) | | | Tasted by wirelesswine on 7/16/2021 & rated 93 points: What a pleasure to drink - there's a lot going on with stone fruit and apple and hints of petrol beginning to emerge. Seems like this wine could keep going in the cellar, but hard to resist now. (344 views) | | | Tasted by bvivio on 8/31/2020 & rated 91 points: Appearance: medium lemon, some green and gold highlights, medium- tearing, lots of fine sediment, noticeable gas evidence, slight rim variation.
Nose: clean, developing, pronounced intensity, lime, tangerine, green apple, white peach, apricot, jasmine, wet stone, petrol, honey.
Palate: medium dry, high acid, low alcohol (10.0%), light body, medium+ intensity, medium+ finish, lime, tangerine, green apple, white peach, apricot, jasmine, wet stone, petrol, dried apricot.
Overall: A pretty classic, middle-aged Kabinett. Very perfumed with a pleasant mix of fruit, floral, and mineral aromas, along with the expected tertiary flavors/aromas of petrol, honey and dried apricot. The acid/sugar balance is rather nice, but the wine does feel slightly on the sweeter end of the Kabinett spectrum. Delicious on its own, and can handle eclectic food parings; this wine paired wonderfully with both Moroccan spiced Chilean sea bass and general's chicken. Has the intensity and structure to age for a few more years yet, but right now it does feel pretty much at peak. (523 views) | | | Tasted by silton on 12/29/2019 & rated 91 points: Day one was good -- lamp oil and papaya aroma, taut green apple palate. Day two this was left in the fridge. Day 3 was great -- the petrol settled a bit and showed more soil tones, with plenty of green apple and stone fruit and verve to spare. (783 views) | | | Tasted by liteagilis on 12/26/2018: Still not ready. Drank quite sweet w developing Riesling aromas and underlying acidity and stony character. I really enjoyed it but was hoping it would be fully mature. (804 views) | | | Tasted by bknysak on 1/31/2008 & rated 90 points: Great Kabinett. Closer to a "true" Kabinett than other 06s I've tried, still has a great deal of body and weight, flowers and pungent herbs, all held in place by a great slatiness and ripe acidity. Had with Monsoon's lemongrass chicken... great match.

#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)NaheAn der Nahe erwarten den Besucher sanftes Grün, romantische Flusstäler und dramatische Felsformationen. Dazu gastfreundliche Winzer und ihre vielfältigen Weine.
2.000 Jahre Weinbautradition hat das Anbaugebiet an der Nahe und den Nebenflüssen Glan und Alsenz. Vor kalten Winden durch den hohen Hunsrück geschützt, schaffen milde Temperaturen und viel Sonnenschein ein hervorragendes Klima für den Weinbau in dem regenarmen und sonnigen Tal. Hier wachsen auf rund 4.000 Hektar Rebsorten wie Riesling, Rivaner, und Silvaner. Auch die Spielarten des Burgunders sowie Kerner, Scheurebe, Portugieser und Dornfelder sind hier zu Hause. Lieblingskind der Winzer ist der an Finessen reiche Riesling, ein Viertel der Rebfläche ist damit bestockt.
Eine bewegte Erdgeschichte hat der Nahe-Region eine große Bodenvielfalt beschert. Die Reben wachsen auf Schiefergestein, vulkanischen Porphyr- oder Löss- und Lehmböden. Das ermöglicht eine Vielfalt an Rebsorten und Weinstilen.
