2019 Schäfer-Fröhlich Schloßböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs
4/12/2024 - Stephan2021 Likes this wine: 94 Points
I don't find the famous Felsenberg smokiness but tons of citrus fruit in all forms and colour, wet stone, reductive notes of flint and some petrol. Yet this is young, too young maybe and I will come back after 2026.

Light yet dense, enormous length and very high, demanding acidity
/
Benefits from caraffing and needs 14° rather than 10° Celsius in my opinion.

2010 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia
3/13/2024 - Stephan2021 Likes this wine: 95 Points
Dusty red fruit and orange zest + a lot of tertiary in the nose like dried herbs and earth.
/
Medium Body, medium+ acidity but very well integrated
/
What makes this great for me is its length, complexity and above all: elegance.

2010 Weninger Soproni Spérn Steiner
10/5/2023 - Stephan2021 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Dried, dark fruit and dried blossoms on the nose. But the wine is very much tertiary now, e.g. tart chocolate. It is by no means old but in a perfect drinking window.

Dense and mellow with medium+ and perfectly integrated Tannin and a vibrant acidity.
