March 1, 2013 - Tasting and dinner with old wines from Kloster Eberbach (Kloster Eberbach, Rheingau): Translucent light to medium red with lighter edge. Berry-dominated nose with ripe cherries, red currants, pronounced notes of toasted oak with chocolate and coffee, spice, quite a bit of mineral and menthol. Palate with menthol, mint, mineral, rather high alcohol, balancing acidity, full-bodied mouthfeel, not really fruity on the palate, some alcoholic fire in the aftertaste. The oak is actually not noticeable on the palate. 89 p
This is a fascinating wine since the palate is substantially different from what the nose led me to expect. The alcoholic fire and the exaggerated oak in the nose has reduced my score, however. -

March 1, 2013 - Dinner by Sebastian Lühr * with "Versteigerungsspitzen & Schatzkammerweine" (Rheingau Gourmet & Wein Festival, Kloster Eberbach): From the Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg, matured in new 1200 litre Stückfässer. Very vibrant, young colour; on the nose still very primary after ten years, black fruit, smoky, minerality and lovely warmth from the wood; on the palate very good intensity and energy, lovely acidity (particularly for a 2003), still a bit hard and with as yet unresolved but ripe tannins, cherry fruit flavours; excellent length. A great classic that will need a lot of time - Ralf Bengel is convinced that like the 1947 it will easily last 30 - 40 years.
