Different experience than my last bottle Smoke, some florality, blue cheese, root vegetables and, after a lot of air and warmth, curry powder Some bitterness and spice on the palate Slightly darker golden colour, indicating oak ageing. It looked like a Chardonnay! Dry

Golden colour - unusual. Honeyed nose. Showing surprising ripeness for Mosel. Trace of S emerging as it warms. Quite rich and honeyed. 13 alc. Is surprising. Clearly very ripe. Hints at residual sugar but I suspect is quite dry. Bracing acid which settles as you embrace the other characters. Great length. Atypical for the Mosel but maybe not for the maker. Drinkable now but better with time.

More opulent in style than the typical Mosel riesling Lush, opulent Apricot, peach, spices honey, white flowers Dry but not austere or ungiving Excellent complexity 90-91

We had a tasting at the winery, and overall, for me, though the wines were obviously noble and good, overall I was not super-impressed, so possibly just not my kind of winery. Certainly I will not pay the prices they demand for this level of quality.
Now to this wine, the Schieferterassen is their most basic dry wine (still costs some 18 EUR) - they decline to provide analytics but it doesn't feel completely dry.
Very nice scent, elegant and oily - maybe a bit 'strict' in a way. The taste fits very well to the scent; homogenous in all parts of the mouth. We liked this wine but agreed that we certainly don't love it. It was somehow a bit austere, maybe also due to a more pronounced bitter component that we didn't discover in the other wine of theirs. On the negative, no aftertaste at all - maybe this will come with time.
Interestingly, it reminded me of a certain style of Furmint.
The winery lady commented that 2019 was a very tricky year, the second super-hot summer in a row, and while the vines managed the first one (2018) very well, they had more problems with the second one. She also said this is a wine which they brought to market later than usual, as the wine simply needed more time to deveop into a state where it is good enough to go to market.
