I took this bottle to Jim Lesters property for him to try. No formal notes but this was still drinking very well and shown better than the last time I had it. Dry, rich and full bodied with less petrol than I expected. 92 points.

Opened at an offline with R2D2 last weekend. I was not as enthralled with this bottle as the last one I opened in 2007. Tasted much older than I would expect (even for a 15 year old Riesling). Medium yellow color with a hint of amber. Much lower acidity than the last bottle. petrol aromas. Rich with notes of apricots and almonds. This is a dry Riesling from a grand cru vineyard. 87 points.

Breuer Schlossberg ve Nonnenberg 1996-2008 (Weingut Breuer in Rüdesheim): Not blind, decanted for six hours
Some Botrytis I expected leaner but nicely balanced from a refreshing and Saline acidity. 94

Georg Breuer - Double vertical Schlossberg / Nonnenberg 1996-2008 (Weingut Georg Breuer, Rüdesheim, Germany): Glass: Stölzle White
All wines (except where noted otherwise) where double decanted about 7-10h before tasting.
Medium golden color. Clean, deep nose with a smokiness I would usually find in the Schlossberg.
Wonderful tension, stony mineral notes, precise and lean with a beautiful length. 93

Riesling aromas with petroleum in addition to caramel and roses. Rich and concentrated. A bit short finish.
