Intens aroma av hvit rieslingfrukt, perro og voks. Stor, oljete munnfølelse, nektaraktig men helt tørr. Veldig ren, balansert petroleumspreg. Mineralsk, middels syre. Lang finish av steinete fjellbekk

2006 vintage

APPEARANCE: Golden colour with a slight yellow-green tint. 11.5% ABV. NOSE: Lovely mature Riesling nose with primarily ripe tropical fruits; apricot, peach, lime, lemon, even some mango. Also Gravenstein apple. Some wet slate minerality and a hint of flint smoke. (93p) TASTE: Juicy, tropical, citrusy, viscous - almost buttery, ripe sweet lemons, apricot and mango. Gradually more and more stone minerality. Quite a bit of rounded, ripe citric acidity (originally 12.3 g/L) but it’s wrapped in enough ripe fruitiness that …

2006 vintage

Petrol, apricot pit nose. Some grapefruit pith. Light elegant mouth feel. Very drinkable with a still lively finish.

2006 vintage

A fairly rich wine even by auslese standards. Some botrytis is apparent on the nose and palate, just a hint of petrol. This worked well as a compliment to dessert, I can't see using this particular auslese with a main coarse.

2006 vintage

Egentlig laaangt utenfor drikkevindu, men helt fantastisk!!! 8 flasker igjen nå! «Glemt» vin !!😂😂

2006 vintage

pretty gold color; a bit of spritz on opening the bottle but not on the taste; different wine over three days; started out a bit more flabby with too much apricot; by day two it was crisp with plenty of lychee, pineapple and fine acidity that more than compensated for a trace of sweetness; yellow nectarine and a hint of petrol on day three, still with fine acidity; surprisingly good and add a point for having the extra time to …

2006 vintage

Color is clearly yellow and gold like and I thought it could be slightly oxidized when pouring it in the glass, but it wasn't. Perfumed and fruity on the nose, some tropical fruits like pineapple and dragonfruit, in addition to minor hint of petrol. It had good acidity on the palate, dry but with ripe pineapple, peaches, honey ad lyches, all with an mineral undertone that avoided the wine to be too "fat". It has a long finish. The wine …

2006 vintage

This was really quite nice. It was a bright medium lemon yellow color. The nose was a fragrant, perfumed and fruity amalgam of tropical fruits especially guava and dragonfruit. The palate had good acidity, seemed totally dry with ripe pineapple, pear, lychee, guava and a mineral undertone and finished with a very long, dare I say, saline quality. Balanced, bright and energetic despite its age...Really lovely!

2006 vintage

This seems to be coming around now. Bone dry, little petro, elegangt aromas of honey etc.

2006 vintage

Great riesling. Ripe and complex with a wonderful balance. High acidity, lasts for a very long time. Apple blossoms, honey, minerals (flint) and citrus

2006 vintage

(at Craft – NYC) Impressive and a very good value on the list. Rich, good ripeness with very clean fruit. Pretty long and fine. (91)

2006 vintage

Still rather fresh, but good (not petroleum) tertiary evolution. Not as sweet as thought. a bit backwards.

2006 vintage

Starting to show good tertiary evolution.

2006 vintage

Intens, kompleks og balansert. Strålende vin med langt lagringspotensiale

2006 vintage

great phase now

2006 vintage

Rieslingfeier (New York) : Had alongside the Rottland Alte Reben, a site only 400 yards away. Also a nose of white peach. Very precise wine, mineral and steel; loads of very salty minerality. Has about 11g of sugar, but feels seems nearly dry due to the high acid. Quite a unique wine.

2006 vintage

quince, gooseberry and green apple with good minerality/acidity that keeps it lively; plenty of life; just right with thai food.

2006 vintage

Vinen var litt lukket i starten. Toner av lime. Appelsinskall og mineralitet. Blomster. Etter hvert litt petroleum på nese og i smak. Søtlig frukt. Sitrusttoner, men også mer søtlig, tropisk frukt. Moderat til god friskhet. Ville tro den skulle være friskere. God konsentrasjon og god lengde. Lett mineralsk i avslutningen hvaharjegiglasset.blogspot.com

2006 vintage

I was expecting something drier, but this had definite residual sugar, but was complex and interesting throughout. Mango and passion fruit to start and a gentle bitter finish with the racey acidity. Very nice, developed wine.

2006 vintage

Tasted blind at TWM. This wind is pale yellow in color, medium intensity on the news, with notes of green apple, apricot, and a bit of chalk. On the palate, off dry, with medium plus acid, light tannins, medium minus body, with notes of tart green apple, a bit of sweet peach, candlewax, with a silky mouth feel in spite of tense acid on the medium plus (forever) green apple skin finish. Minerality and verve, a delicious Riesling, drink 2014-2022, …

2006 vintage

Just gets better with age; has shed some of its fat and is now very balanced with a beautiful profile of fresh orchard fruit and a bit of petrol. Great stuff and ridiculous value.

2006 vintage

Color starts tom darken, on the nose flowers, yellow apples and tropical fruit. On the palate the dominant flavors are peach (stone fruits), lemon and some lime and a very nice minerality. Acidity is mellow with a hint of petroleum. Looong aftertaste. Further storage is advisable, but the wine drinks very well now.

2006 vintage

Farge: Gylden. Duft: Mineralsk, moden rieslingduft, noe petroleum, svakt søtlig sitrusfrukt (lime og sitron), et lite hint av fersken. Smak: Middels fyldig riesling, rund, ganske balansert, frukten begynner å bli moden, men fortsatt frisk. Middels lang ettersmak med lett steinfruktbitterhet. Moden, men holdbar og vil modnes ytterligere frem mot 2016-2020.

2006 vintage

Spring 2012 Terry Theise/WineWise/The Vienna Wine Co Tasting Part I: Germany (The General's Residence, Fort Mason, San Francisco, California) : Light yellow color; intriguing, mineral, chalk, tart pear nose; tasty, complex but delicate, subtly savory, tart pear, mineral palate; medium-plus finish

2006 vintage

Popped and poured. Nose showing mostly peach and apple with some minerals and botrytis. On palate this is rich wth intense RS , uncharacteristically light on acid for leitz, and the botrytis has a little bite at the beginning of the med long finish. Not my style right now. Will see if the other bottles age but plan to wait 5-10 yrs for the next one. Hopefully improves.

2006 vintage

Quite developed now. Apricot on the nose. Nice acidity. Very good.

2006 vintage

Less expressive than on previous occasions. I assume further storage is advisable.

2006 vintage

Peach, grapefruit, lime, some flowers, hint of honey and a small whiff of petroleum. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, great balance, intens mineralty in the finish, excellent lenght.

2006 vintage

Still young, looking very, very good.

2006 vintage

One year later, and this is still available. I really dig it for the 500ML bottle. Sweet, in a dessert style. 89-91

2006 vintage

a bit too watery for me and way to bitter after taste for me to join it as much as i hoped. will save rest of bottles hoping for better result.

2006 vintage

Aromas and flavors of pear, grapefruit and petrol with abit of residual sugar and a bright acidic core. An excellent dry(offdry) Riesling thats drinking very well right now.

2006 vintage

Twin Cities Wine Club German Riesling Tasting (Gail's House) : A stellar wine with floral, orange, minerals and pear. Good balance between sweet and sour and great minerality on the finish. Really drinking well right now.

2006 vintage

PnP lite neste ingen lukt, litt gummi/viskelær og en aner mer i bakgrunnen. Søt mild og snill vanilje og eple smak. Frisk ettersmak med god syre. 1 dag i flaske: Dessert til repris av NpN Deilig Gummi og epleskall, metall, Rein og enkel, kanskje god til eplekake uten nøtter. 5 dager, til gorgonzola: Frisk rein eple og viskelær. burde sikker venta 10 år. klarer ikke Gorgonzolaen, silo. 153 NOK / 500ml

2006 vintage

Skurnik/Theise Spring Tasting (City Winry) : Very sweet, dessert like. Needs more time. Not really my style, but I dig the pricing. 88+

2006 vintage

nice enough riesling, vibrant acidity, some minerality, but it seemed to lack that little something extra.

2006 vintage

Impressively huge Rheingau riesling. Full bodied and highly concentrated. Ok acid, but perhaps a bit simple fruit. I preferred the last bottle which had more fruit.

2006 vintage

Amazing elegance and finesse, lacy and linear, fantastic fruit veering towards the tropical, RS (if any) buffered by 12.3 gr TA (!), playful, perfect weight (a mere 11.5% alcohol) the epitome of Rheingau in its definition, style and grace.

2006 vintage

Broderen fisker fram fra kjelleren. Lukt: Visk, petroleum, ananas, god. Smak: Deilig fyldig, eple, petroleum, deilig :-D. 1 dag i flaske: Ikke så god i dag, mekerom og flatt midtparti. 280 NOK

2006 vintage

faint violet and petrol nose; nice apple notes with honey and unctuous mouth feel; a bit flabby

2006 vintage

Started with a fizz; offers up a nose of petrol and apple. Some peach and apple flavors; light wine with a touch of sweetness but a crisp finish that makes it overall, enjoyable.

2006 vintage

Prickly verging on petillant, round, fat and earthy on the palate, soft and sweet, a bit elusive at the end, but overall a lovely wine

2006 vintage

Better than my last bottle. Lots of sweet peach, nectarine and apple fruit with slate and floral notes. Good acidity keeps it light on its feet, with a medium length finish.

2006 vintage

nice qpr spatlese had with a thai pork curry. sugar provided a good respite from the spice. not my in the way of an interesting bouquet. ok considering it is tough to get cheap spatlese.

2006 vintage

Very sweet and forward with intense flavours of apple, peach, nectarine, strawberry and some floral notes. Medium bodied with good acidity to balance the fruit cocktail-like sweetness and a creamy finish.

2006 vintage

Very nice - crispy apple and shaved fennel - sweet spritzy with great balance. leitz is a real favourite

2006 vintage

Riesling Revival with Bear Dalton of Specs (French Alliance Houston) : The Mag was a slight step up from the Klosterlay for me, but more of a different style. The Mag was richer fruit with more weight. Lemon custard with apple preserves on the nose. Almost pruned grapes on the midpalate. It was not too thick and gooey for me, but just barely enough acidity to balance. I would be concerned about this wine a few years in the cellar. …

2006 vintage

Seeing the Leitz (Table & Vine) : Nice brightness for a 2006. Starts with a forceful thrust, but the middle seems a bit weak. A slight hint of cheese. Could use more stuffing.

2006 vintage

Rhubarb fruit together with the high sweetness brought me back to childhood. We ate fresh rhubarb dipped in white sugar during summertime as snack. This wine tasted in the beginning just like it. After some time also apples. maybe a bit less acidity to balance the wery good sweetness, but still a good wine. The other 3 will be kept another 10-15 years.

2006 vintage

CSCA: Liter color than Anheuser; chalk, minerals, & peach; brighter a’s, slite spritz, lite, easy going in mth; not as interesting as I would like.
