This was full of sulfur on open but it went away with four hours in a wide decanter. Signature Felseneck smoke and flint dominated the nose along with some Meyer lemon or underripe orange. The palate was a little disappointing; we all agreed it fell a little flat in the middle. I'm sending my other bottle to storage so it can sleep for another five years or so.

Followed over a few days. A scrumptious Spätelese, perfect for after dinner. maybe a little closer to Auslese in style than one might expect. Very well structured; nice acid balance. Years ahead of it; drink or hold.

Still very closed, lemon, white orchard fruit, saline, steely. Good dry extract, very long. For me it is simply too young. Next try in 2-3 years.

Für mich mit Abstand die beste Spätlese in 2023! Typisch Nahe, feine straffe Säure, perfekt eingebundene Frucht und Süße mit langem Nachhall. Einfach wunderbar!
Vielen restsüßen Weinen aus 2023 fehlt die Säure. Probiert auf der VDP-Weinbörse in Mainz

Agree with comments below, especially the most recent comment by Forceberry. After a couple of glasses upon PNP, saved remainder of the bottle in the fridge for weeks. Surprisingly, the wine that was left was not even hinting at decline so I agree with others that say this has decades ahead of it. Not too sweet for a Spatlese but certainly not dry (to my palate at least, which admittedly doesn’t drink as many rieslings as more traditional dry white varietals). This was well balanced, complex and overall a delight. 92-93, rounding up based on potential over (likely very long) time.

Exotic tropical fruit/subtle Jack fruit, fresh apricot, white lily, savoury and flinty, some residue sugar with fizziness, fresh acidity with intense ripe fruit to balance it. Well made Nahe with typical ripe fruit characters.

PnP had over 3-4 hours out of a Gabriel Glas.
Fleshier nose, displaying lemon curd and lime zest.
Wow. Lemon curd laced with electricity in the mouth. Fantastic purity of flavor and length.
Drinking well now and likey to improve for a decade or more.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2014 (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): Glass: Gabriel Universal
Bottle opened ~10h before the tasting. Clear, pale golden color. Classic SF nose with noticeable sulphur. On the palate on a similar level with the Halenberg. Very solid, very good, still upscale potential. 93+

Medium intensity with lemon, lime, saline, hint of petrol, minerality, white peach, apricot, grapefruit, white flowers. Lots of energy. High acidity, long grapefruit/lime finish. 92-93

Great bottle, although not as great as I had expected

nailed it, typical nose. A bit lack of acidity due to the warm vintage. Needs a few hours of decantation. 92-93

Intense, sweet lemon and lime. Very fresh and clean. Feels more rounded and probably at peak now but lacks some of the complexity of the best vintages. Still very much great stuff!

Opened 1 hour in advance. Fresh, energetic and almost vibrant in the expression. Medium+ acidity, great integrated. It delivers lots of different citrus fruits, a flowery tone, wet stone, a little ripe musk melon and some petroleum (which disappears after a while). Super intense, but yet very fresh and elegant. Great balance and length. Clearly in the drinking window, but with a lot of life left. Lovely wine.

Not many bottles of this still in the CT inventory, so mainly academic and for myself. Aromas of honey and golden raisins point to the botrytis here, with yellow apple dominant beneath those top notes. The palate is broad, juicy, and full, with a fleshy texture and flavors indicating the ripeness of the vintage: yellow peach and even a hint of mango. There is a tangy acidity here that's mostly buried by the massive fruit, but it's present enough to keep everything lively. The finish is long and expensive, with impressive concentration on the mid palate. At age 18 and change, it's hard to say this is young. But I do think it has positive evolution ahead of it yet. The 05 Auslese must be staggering given the concentration and ripeness here.

2014 Shafer-Frohlich Felseneck Grosses Gewachs (23 15) 13% abv
Burg stem. Blue slate and quartzite again. Pale yellow. This is a pile of summery blossoms - magnolia especially, along with some ripe melon aromas and apricots. The palate (like the Halenberg) seems to have just a shade over threshold RS so that some sweetness of marzipan and coconut come into play. Impeccably balanced and just lovely to drink.

For a non- Donnhoff Nahe wine, this showed extremely well at the spatlese level. Just entering its proper drinking window as a GK, it retains a significant viscosity but also has developed some very interesting floral/herbal notes. A deep gold in color, with a sweet cumquat and honey nose, the wine unfolds nicely with some, but not many, hints of complexity. Will never be a Mosel or Donnhoff but very good.

3/8/2024 - Boudica Likes this wine: 91 points

Very pale straw, clear. initially reductive nose, slightly rotten tropical fruit (think durian) funk makes way for brighter citrus notes and fleeting florals on the nose. Zingy acid that is quite disjointed from the sugar sweetness - there is a heaviness and richness in this wine, but then the acid lingers like a razor for too long making the wine seem off-balance. Flavours are dominated by lime marmalade, fresh mandarin and briny minerality. I was certainly hoping for more from this. Showed to a group of Riesling-loving winemakers and no-one was blown away. Lets hope that this comes together with more age, but I'm not hopeful.
