Mußbacher Eselshaut Eiswein Riesling 1998

9.5

A 1998 M-C should tell you all you need to know about this wine. A legendary vintage for this producer. An explosive nose of tropical fruit along with honey..
In the mouth all of the nose plus citrus and cinnamon. Acidity behaving like a life preserver, just crazy.

@Ira Schwartz, you inspired me to go downstairs into my cellar and bring some German Rieslings upstairs for the drinking queue — while I’ve tasted and LOVED a handful of Eiswein over the years (heck, it’s what sold my wife on me back in 1983 on our second date, albeit an Austrian Riesling Eiswein in split at the famous Wine Bar in Soho, NYC (likely no longer there), she ABSOLUTELY loves Eiswein and I’d guess it’d be her choice for last bottle?? Anyway, among others, I found 6 bottles of 2002 Christoffel Urzinger Wurgarten Auslese, which I’m anxious to try soon, will tag you when I do!!!

HGS era M-Cs are special and this one is just fantastic. I picked up a six pack of 375ml bottles for $25/bottle on Winebid about 25 years ago that I consider one of my best auction scores.

A partnership between the winemaker Giovanni C. Sacchet and Antonio M. Zaccheo, offering a line of wines spanning from Tuscan DOCG appellations to varietal specific wines. Ruby with aromas of red berry fruits, smoke & cedar notes. On the palate strawberry and raspberry flavors with oak and earthy notes. Long finish, firm tannins, ending with espresso notes. Nice! — 6 years ago

Nose of pure strawberry and stems. Linear and still a bit tannic, there’s nice purity and zest in this lively C-M. Nice. — 8 years ago

I picked up a couple C-H wines last month and this is my second bottle to open following Jaboulet’s Thalbert.

Followed over two days. 91-92 initially, finished at 92-93. Still some room for upside, so scoring accordingly.

From start to finish this was undeniably a more enjoyable wine than the Jaboulet. Day one was a potpurri and floral overload aromatically before ripe dark fruits and green herbs shut it down hard with a wall of tannin at the finish (similar to the Jaboulet). Day two showed what this wine is evolving to be…a softer aromatic profile but so much depth on the mid-palate with lavender, charcoal and dark berries before a finish of black peppered meat. The wine feels well balanced by acid and tannin and the alcohol isn’t obtrusive. Not quite crunchy, but bright and powerful. Lovely C-H from the Chapoutier team. Could cruise another 5+yrs in this same drinking window. — a year ago
