Slow ox 2hrs. Early side of prime drinking for me- notes of latex rubber, kefir lime leaves, wet stone, and citrus oils, unripe quince. Densely packed and not forthcoming in the nose. In the mouth, wine is lighter bodied, bright fruit acid almost aggressive. On the attack, I get citrus, petrol, tangy melon rind, fresh green apple juice, and some dank marijuana retronasal. This really seems to be still a baby. Wonderful with some milk braised pork.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2008 - Part II (Concept Riesling, Düsseldorf): Glass: Gabriel Universal Standard *** All wines tasted blind, bottles opened a few hours before serving, served decanted *** Clear, pale golden color. Clean nose, open. Dry. Ripe yellow fruit with fine rock flour and zests. Nice tension, good length. Potential for another 5+ years. 92-93

1h decanting, drank from Gabriel-Glas. Pale golden color, open and rich developed bouquet: baked apple, stone fruits, rhubarb-cake, mandarin, hints of petrol, kerosene and bee balm. On the palate very round and supple, dry but with a touch of sweetness, medium+ body. Finishes long with precise acidity and a trace of salty minerality, adding a good edge to the hedonistic richness of this wine. Some more years left to go, but why wait? I think, this wine is right on the spot now.

“Ten Years After” 2008 Dry Riesling Große Gewächse Tasting (Concept Riesling, Dusseldorf, Germany): Too ripe for my taste. Lives mostly from the ripe fruit and some caramel notes. Good length. No potential.
