November 19, 2022 - Plenty of fruit and acid left, medium body and beginning to fade, lasted an hour. Drink up if you have any.

April 3, 2022 - Sleek texture and loaded with honeyed stone fruits. Still some tartness and lip smacking finish. No longer thick and powdery like a few years ago.

August 24, 2020 - Three years ago I had a bottle of this that was a proper foil for some super spicy Thai. Tonight’s Thai dinner was not nearly so spicy, and the wine rolled over the food with a cement truck. I remember this wine being big, but this is massive. It’s Auslese*** massive. Eleven years after the vintage, and the fruit is still fresh, the acidity present, but buried under waves of richness, and the site expression is a mere echo, emerging mostly on the finish. This wine needs 15-20 more years to become what it can be.

July 8, 2018 - Teeming with richness. Powdery unrepentant sweetness. Fruit not exactly front and center but counters the honey flavors nicely. This was enjoyable but I’d wait another 3+ years before popping another so it’s a little more in its prime.

December 10, 2017 - Tropical fruit, green berries, apple, zesty lime minerality. Still very primary, with Auslese-level sweetness and richness. Loads of fruit and excellent acidity, though I would have preferred it had the sugar been dialed back just a bit. Nice long finish of apple and pineapple.

By Terry Theise
2011 German Catalog, 3/1/2011 (link)(Selbach-Oster Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese) ($30.00) Sensational; all starched and brilliant, a marching-band of slate and fruit and a sort of ur-Mosel soul, as Graach can be – you seem to eat the flavor within the flavor. A touch sweeter now. Here’s a completely screwed-up observation; the finish has certain things in common with the aftertaste of good white-corn tortilla chips. Earth to Terry….
