Bernkasteler Graben Spätlese Riesling 2015

A good riesling that balances its sweetness with acid that cuts. There is also a distinct mineral texture. This wine screams for fried fish. — 8 years ago

Eltviller Kalbspflicht Auslese Cabinet Riesling 1959

1959 Auslese for how much?! There is something truly unique and precious about a wine that has never left its place of origin... it's what some call provenance.
This now defunct
#Rheingau estate was at this time on top of its game and produced some of the finest #Rieslings from #GrandCru vineyard sites in #Eltville and #Kiedrich. Eltviller #Kalbspflicht Riesling #Auslese from Jacob Fischer Erben was so fresh and lively that the closet guess was 1976!
Where else can you find such a phenomenal wine from an awesome year that is pushing 60 years of age for $250 in a restaurant???
NOWHERE!!!

Sweet sweet nectar. Nice balance of ripping acidity and solid RS. Ripe nectarine and peach, white flower and petrol. Slate backbone with laser focus. 2010 wish I had let it age more. Will definitely seek out another bottle and lay her down for a few years. — 11 years ago

Exceptional. Normally I wouldn't be so bowled over by a Riesling this sweet. But the 18 years draw a nice hardened mineral edge to this wine without dulling any of the sweet pear notes. — 8 years ago

Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling GG 2014

Light gold color, with nose of golden apple, marmalade, orange blossom. On the palate it takes on a Chenin- like texture, with kafir lime, tart nectarine, white flowers, and a little burgundy-esque presence, with peach undertones. Young but very good. — 9 years ago

Estate Mosel Riesling 2015

This is just a fabulous QBA. I love everything Thanish, down to their base line Riesling. Not too much sugar, and the acid is on point. Lime zest and white peaches are the core, with a wet slate rock mineral dusting through out. The R.S. to the finish highlights all the citric flavors and makes you just want another refreshing sip. I think overall what makes this Riesling stand out is that it has clear defined layers and a clean finish, and delicate aromatics. 👌 — 9 years ago

Update - sipping this post-dinner, and it's feeling Way to sweet (it is a three star Auslese after all) good illustration of the right time and place for all things - screw the ranking system!

Kaseler Nies'chen Auslese Alte Reben Riesling Goldkapsel 2006

#2006 #Kasel #Nieschen #Riesling #Auslese #Goldkapsel--over the past year or so we've been opening numerous 2006s, remaining in our stocks, and we've been very pleased with their developments. The once-domineering #botrytis has become beautifully integrated, and they are showing a very attractive harmony between acidity and sweetness... the hallmark of any great, age-worthy #Riesling. The one aspect I found so beguiling with this 2006 was its subtle elegance and grace like a pretty ballarina. — 9 years ago
