Breuer Schlossberg ve Nonnenberg 1996-2008

Introduction
Great vertical Tasting of Breuer's Schloßberg ve Nonnenberg 1996-2008 @ Breuer winery with charming Theresa Breuer. Thanks to Marcus for invitation and organizing.
From my experiences I expected that Nonnenberg would be the "winner", but it was narrowly vice versa. In the hotter years Nonnenberg has because of his cooler Climate the more focused wine.

I was flashed. The nose is 100. Never ending Roasted Popcorn, no nuts, Rice waffles, I guessed Burgundy GC and Chardonnay. Perfectly oaked. Nothing disturbs. Killing acidity but not annoying. Thanks Richie for sharing this bottle. First bottle of d'Auvenay. Lifetime experience. 98+

Nose and colour clearly Burgundy but in the palate too powerful and missing elegance. The oak and Tannins are not fully integrated. GC Quality but for me too heavy. 92

Nonnenberg 08 crazy wine, ages away from his Peak
The wines need at least 10 years of cellaring, even in hot years as 03, 05 or 07 great, lean, saline wines with elegance and structure
2000 is a bad vintage
