This is an incredible Riesling. Although it is Kabinet, it has just a touch of residual sugar which makes it perfect for spicy foods. — 9 years ago

Mülheimer Sonnenlay Brut Riesling 2008

Ate w sushi at toro. Sweeter bubbly good for countering the weirdo spicy sushi we had. Probably too heavy for me to finish a full bottle lol

Phillip: "ripe orchard fruit and honey on the nose. Rich, sweet, little melon on the palate. Touch of toast and yeast on the finish w nectary sweetness"

Star bright medium minus golden hay in appearance. Medium plus intensity on the nose with peach, vinyl and florality. Pallet is high acid, low alcohol off-dry Meyer lemons squeezed over elderflower soda, with distinct vinyl following the aromas. Sparkles in the mouth with excellent clean and long finish. — 7 years ago

The nose is quite volatile with a heavy dose of paint thinners (as we say in England), crisp green apples, pear drops and earth.

The palette has notes of saline, fresh apples and a nice gentle sweetness. The acid is soft at this point, so I consider this wine to be at its zenith. If you have em, drink them up.

Veldenzer Elisenberg Auslese Riesling 2003

Has evolved into very unctuous ripe, even baked, pineapple and creamy coconut, a little papaya and mango. Still maintains a slatey note but is much more to the mature tropical fruit qualities than I remember from tasting the wine when it was younger. Delicious! — 11 years ago

Mülheimer Helenenkloster Auslese Riesling 2007

Fabulous! Perfectly aged auslese from a fabulous vintage. Ripe apricot, honeysuckle on the nose. Palate is mouth-coating petrol with honey. Full-bodied and piquant as you’d expect from this classic vineyard. Finish is long and beautiful.
This auslese has less mineral and stone than many others from the Mosel but makes up for it with the full bodied but elegant nature.
Richter usually makes TBA and Eiswein out of this 1 ha vineyard, but in bountiful years, the winery will make a small quantity of auslese.
This wine is hard to find, but get some if you can. Drink one now and cellar the rest for another 20 years. 2007 vintage on Aug 5, 2018.

Mülheimer Sonnenlay Selection Riesling 2002

I call this: "The Little Riesling That Could." A beautifully aged Riesling showing button mushrooms at first, followed by faint petrol, then guava and citrus notes. A fuller-bodied Spatlese Trocken offering great complexity and length. — 10 years ago
