  Drinking a point IMHO. While the fruit is still mainly primary, everything has settled. High on acidity, plenty of citrus, minerals, fine harmony, balance is perfect, a very elegant, almost feminin GG. Love it.

  This is finally coming into it's own. Decanted 1.5 hrs and drunk over the next 1.5 hrs, a great wine, big in fruit extract and acid to make this astounding in the mouth. Primarily higer acid orchard fruits, not much in tropical nature, but peach, grapefruit, tangerine, pear in big amounts. Love this and wish I had more.

  Unfairly the Frühlingsplätzchen is often considered as the "second" GG from Schönleber, standing in the shadow of the bigger brother Halenberg. Maybe it doesn't have the abysmal minerality and depth of the Halenberg, is a bit rounder and more charming but I think there are many GGs in whole Germany which doesn't could keep up with it. The 2013 has a fine, slightly withdrawn nose with lemon zest and vineyard peach underlaid by just a hint of wonderful interwoven sweetness. Very clean, fresh and focused with quite a bit of white stone fruit on the palate. The acidity is high but integrated into the medium body so you don't recognize it. It gives the wine a long drive into a wonderful dry, mineral finish. A nice showing, although I think this Frühlingsplätzchen is still a teenager with lots of potential left. If you want to enjoy a bottle these days give it a decent decant. Better in 3-5 years.

  Day 4 in the Nahe - Donnhoff/Schafer-Frohlich/Emrich-Schoenleber (Nahe - Germany): Super tart nose, sour cherries, lemons and deep limes and pear tones. The palate came across too shrill...the fruit was overshadowed by the crazy acidity. This embodies all that's wrong with the GG style.
