  Leaner than I recalled but full of aromatic intensity. Still an excellent wine though simpler (of course) than Roth Lay.

  This is their entry level Riesling but already offers exceptional quality! I bought it onsite directly from Mrs. Löwenstein which is really kind and I can recommend a visit. The wine has an incredible length and a good balance of acidity and sweetness. Typical other Ries of that area are something for acid-heads, not this one. Aromas of peach and citrus followed by honey in the finish. If this is their entry level Ries I can't wait to open their GG which is still in my cellar.

  In January 2006, I had my first Schieferterrassen, from the 2004 vintage. I was immediately taken in by its richness. This one is slightly leaner and drier. At first, I thought that it smelled unmistakably like Mosel, and then that it resembled a spätlese trocken. With more air, it found its true shape. It is rich within a firmer frame than earlier but it is still truly a Heymann Löwenstein wine, and I still love it. I guess it will improve over three or six years, but Heymann Löwenstein wine live up to the old Storm P. [lDanish cartoonist] advertisement for Tuborg beer: When is Tuborg best? - Every time!
  
  On the second day, we had the remaining half out of Zalto burgundy glasses. My God , is this good! I can't think of a Meursault that would perform this well. Fabulous intensity, elegance and coherence and balance. Riesling rules, and so does Heymann Löwenstein.

  VDP goes Rotterdam (Rotterdam, NL): A bit broader and more approachable than most basic rieslings at the tasting. High acidity, medium finish. 87
