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. — 3 months ago
Magnum purchased at the winery. Rested 9 weeks at home. Stunning balance for an ultra hot vintage. While showcased by the crystalline quartzite (sea stone personality in an area of thin slate) the wine is still driven by the pure harmony of tartaric acid, European delicacy of yellow apple, pear, quince, hay flavors and the light kiss of Czechian oak. In pure harmony - nothing aggressive. Sophisticated yet anyone would recognize its brilliance — 6 months ago

Such an amazing Spätlese. Honeyed nose with apricots and citrus and lime flower. Subtle yet decadent. Unreal clean minerals. So much like a scene in nature. Stunning. Palate is so nimble. Incredible purity, depth and balance. So sappy and round yet terrific cleansing acidity. This is magical. So much going on. So fresh and delicate at the same time with creamy citrus and lime fruits. Let’s see what air does as my score will go higher. — 4 months ago
