Lower acid this vintage; mint; fruit moving to background. — 8 months ago
Powerful nose, anise, cantaloupe, citrus, grapefruit, red and pink. mango, papaya, just ripe, salty nose, lovely airiness and almost chablis like minerality. Juicy and clean, so sappy and dense but light and mineral. Gorgeous, papaya and mango on the palate. So pure and deep. Nose showing spice. Lovely purity. Length is brilliant. — 7 months ago

Another Breuer I got to follow over three days. While it was incredible, I felt the bottle could have been better. The 08’ Schlossberg I had 4 years ago was spectacularly fresh, tight even; and the pair of older 07’ Kellers I had this trip were both fresher; plus this bottle fell off on day 3 while the 09’ Roseneck peaked.
This bottle was best on day 1. It had aromas of smoke, sea spray, nectarines, green apples, lemon rinds, chamomile which kept growing with air, heaps of spices, fresh honey, and a touch of petrol. The palate was super dense and intense, with a screaming acidity and palate-staining stoniness. Huge finish that just seemed endless. Paired with a roasted bone marrow and parsley dish, it was just insane.
Day 2 saw little evolution from day 1. The petrol character totally disappeared, and a mild bitterness appeared. On day 3 the wine just felt tired and not quite at the level of the previous days. All things considered, it was a beautiful riesling, but just didn’t live up to the expectations of its legendary status. — 5 months ago
Intense. More stones than fruit, the Schlossberg’s pure-granite calling card. Some petrol. Open-knit enough to keep you coming back. — 2 years ago

A seamless, chablis like riesling that is all about balance. Like it a lot! — 7 days ago
