Bright shiny yellow in the glass. On the nose there is lemon-oil, grated ginger, cottoncandy and lovely earthy, funky notes of matchstick/flintstone reduction..!
Palate: creamy, soft acidity, lemoncurd, and powdery mineral nuances.
Gorgeous!!

Followed this wine across three days, and I’d say it was an excellent example of Roseneck. Poured out with a mostly bright green-yellow colour, with touches of light golden hue on some angles in the light.

On day 1, it had aromas of flint, sea spray, apples, fresh honey, and a touch of petrol. Palpable minerality on the palate, almost painfully so. Not the weightiest, but it sure had intensity. Notable sparkly acidity.

On day 2, I had an 08’ Schlossberg to compare with and this was clearly the more filigreed of the two. The 09’ Roseneck was lighter, more mineral, and less complex. It felt greener even - perhaps it was picked earlier in light of the warm vintage. Comparison aside, the nose evolved a little from day 1, with the petrol hints disappearing altogether, the honey note becoming more like honey candy instead of fresh honey, and the appearance of white florals. The palate was again sparkly, with a palate-staining minerality.

I felt day 3 was the best showing of the 09’ Roseneck, with the fruit and floral notes taking a back seat, and the salinity just dominating. Notably, it looked fresher than the 08’ Schlossberg on this day. The palate was just all about that sea spray. The palate was wild - tasted a lot like salted limes doused with fresh honey. The finish was super mineral with hints of lime zest and green apples. Just pure energy!

I’ve seen quite a number of tasting notes on CL noting that the 09’ Roseneck’s possibly close to its peak but I’m inclined to believe otherwise. — 10 months ago

Leave it to the Germans to make some cool cab at eminently quaffable 12.5% . Has more in common with the 1980 Heitz cellar I had than most of the Napa cabs you will find today. — a month ago

Delicious dry Riesling, pale gold in colour, great acidic core, powerful and powdery mouthfeel. Slate, citrus, white peaches and a touch of spun sugar.
