  • Exact opposite experience than last February. This cork was a bitch, not able to fully extract it. Despite a small bit of cork dust, the wine was in fine shape. Beautiful levels of ripeness and acidity, pleasant mango and gooseberry notes with some petrol hints of TDN. Classic lower alcohol German Riesling will help keep me “in the game” today so I can watch my Bills beat the Dolphins tonight!! 92+

  • Full of green apple, melon, and oranges, sweet green herbs, vanilla, and slate, with lovely silky extract. Has the wonderful marriage of intensity and juicy lightness that is a signature of the amazing vintage. So much better than my bottle a decade ago. At peak, I think.

  • Capsule and cork on this one were pristine (in fact, not experiencing a major battle in removing a classic “sticky cork” on an older Riesling surprised me), this bottle was certainly sound but lacked the excitement of previous bottles. Somewhat softer acidity definitely took the desired “edge” off the other key elements. Pleasant but not up to (admittedly high) expectations.

  • Served side by side with the 2001 Selbach-Oster Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese, this was the rapier cut to the Wehlener’s cool caress. Not much further evolved from when I last had it 18 months ago, it continued to glide along its knife edge of acidity, buffered by Feinherb-plus sweetness that disappeared in the finish. It’s a classic Mosel Spätlese that will hold on for as long as anyone is willing to wait.

  • Was going to take this to a Riesling tasting today but our host had a potential health issue and had to cancel. I tried to contain my being “more than OK” with that as I was elated by the thought of drinking this bottle while watching the Bills vs the Rams. This one is singing in several octaves, clean, complex and beautifully aged German Riesling. 93+. Glad to see others enjoying similarly great bottles of this! Go Bills!!!
