Huge fruit! Lighter-bodied than one might expect of an #Auslese *** - elegant, balanced, stunning. #EmrichSchönleber just doesn't disappoint. #2003 #Frühlingsplätzchen #Riesling #Auction — 10 years ago
In any given year, we are spoiled many times over by the amazing treasures we are blessed to able to experience, but every now and then we open an older bottle that flattens us. This was one on them:
Deep amber, reddish hue with a mind-blowing aroma of apricot/caramel extract, aged apple blossom honey, baked nectarine and pineapple...intensely concentrated...supported by a fine core of bright acidity. As near perfection as any wine could ever hope to be...is there another grape varietal on earth that could yield such a wine at forty years of age from a half bottle??? #emrichschönleber

Comparing this to the Emrich-Schönleber was like apples and oranges...a much darker, more forward wine with layers of complex flavors and loads of minerality...a sleeping giant! #ClemensBusch #2011 #Falkenlay #Riesling #grossegewächs

Fresh green apple, touch of lime even a slight soapy aroma (but not unpleasant!). Soft acidity on the palate, hint of sweetness, developing to real grapefruit. round and luscious. Very nice — 10 years ago
