not blind For a 2006 lean and well structured but still broad and dominated with ripe peaches but the existing acidity helps him to survive. Just passed his Peak, well drinkable. 90

Deep golden colour, with hints of amber. Powerful nose with fried apples, stewed apricots, spice, petrol notes, and other developed notes. Medium bodied+ with fried apples and apple compote, some apricots, good acidity, pepper and other spice notes, rather noticeable alcohol, and an aftertaste with apples and spice. Fully mature, 90 pts.
At 14.5% alcohol this is a bit on the alcoholic side for a German Riesling, and it shows, which has cost this wine a point or two in my score. I assume the Botrytis-laden 2006 vintage is to blame, since this level of alcohol(ic feeling) is not always the case for wines from Rebholz. For those of us who enjoy quite mature Riesling, this is still a treat (unless the alcohol is too much for you), but for other people, this should probably have been popped some years ago.

copper color. Extremely dry with marked acidity. Seems a little shut down now. Austere on its own, but worked very well with food. Very good effort from challenging year. Cellared since original release.

A complex nose of riesling-fruit, minerality and mushroomy nuances. Dry and creamy wine with a somewhat slyly rising acidity. White flowers, herbs, lime and gooseberries. Chestnuts and mushrooms in the long finish. An intriguing wine.

A private dinner (Restaurant Gästehaus Klaus Erfort ***, Saarbrücken, Germany): Full colour; still a bit closed, creamy honey and rich yellow fruit; rich fruit, spicy Rotliegendes, rich and juicy, highish acidity; excellent length, excellent achievement in 2006.
