Emrich-Schonleber, Monzinger Halenberg Riesling Auslese, Nahe

Beautiful wine. Sean O. brought this to dinner Le Panzanelle in Lucarelli.

Inmunes al paso del tiempo los grandes riesling se desarrollan de forma espectacular, como este de color dorado y nariz seductora, compota de ciruela amarilla, orejones, miel ligera, hidrocarburos, corteza de cítricos. En bocas la entrada en buena, hay cierta untuosidad, dulzor medio que se compensa de forma excepcional con la acidez, con cierto peso pese a su frescura. largo y con gran profundidad.

Catastrophic cork, had to filter and pour the bottle into a carafe. The wine was nevertheless refreshing, with a good supporting acidity, mainly abricot. Very good.

Unfortunately, the cork didn't do it's job well, and this was a bit oxidized and tired. Tasted a lot like apple juice with honey and a hint of nuts. Moderately or so sweet with some tart acidity. Came off a bit flat, but still tasty enough. 87 or so points

Nose: honey, apricot, white peach, very expressive Taste: honey, wet slate, white peach, white floral, apricot, beeswax; full - body; round and silky; high - acid; med finish of honey, orange peel and apricot Delicious, fantastic balance and wonderful acidity. Really drinking well.

Method: pop and pour out of the fridge; white wine glass Look: medium+ gold Nose: boney, apple cider, peach cobbler, nutmeg, ginger, orange, peel; very expressive Palate: honey, white peach, apple cider, baking spice; medium finish of nutmeg, candied ginger, orange peel; medium+ sweetness; medium body; high acidity that lingers on tongue and very well integrated Overall thoughts: Excellent balance and tension and nice complexity with the spice notes. This lights up my tongue. It's not especially high in concentration …

Lacks acidity, probably 2003’ fault

Some matured aromas, but mostly fresh exotic fruits. Still young and fresh in the mouth. Elegant and supple, with good intensity.

golden colour, honey, pineapple, peach emerge from the glass with medium intensity. On the palate quite sweet with just enough acidity to keep it fresh enough to be enjoyable. This will hold for many years, but I don't believe in positive evolution.

Deep Golden color, looks rich. The nose is very expressive, flaunting tropical fruits, minerals, white flowers, and honey with a petrol edge. This is very concentrated on the palate, and well balanced. The sugar does become a bit much after a while, but this is aging beautifully. The finish is very long with a resounding mineral edge.

From a 375. Decent, not terribly exciting. A little too sweet, making it unbalanced.

Can roca Sorbete de destilado de limon

Deep yellow color. Very aromatic on the nose with loads of honeyed pineapple notes to go with the green apple flavors... some florality, no barrique notes... hints of TDN and stones. Sweet, seemingly in the 60-80 g/l RS range, high acidity, minimal phenolics, low ETOH. Balanced wine though on the fleshy/full side, great intensity, excellent length of flavor, very good complexity. Wine is not the most finesseful Auslese out there and is texturally a smidge soft for me personally, good …

A bit too sweet at this time makes it a little unbalanced. Otherwise a fantastic wine.

A private dinner (Restaurant Steinheuer **, Heppingen, Germany) : Intense and rich, elegant, Nahe-fruitsalad, spices and wax, full but with amazing tension, like a coiled spring, wonderful ripeness but also a cool minerality, fabulous and perfectly integrated acidity, outstanding length. Monumental Riesling, incredible finesse. Drink now - 2017+.
