Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg Spätlese Riesling 1986

The condition of the bottle was remarkable - the wine was fresh and crisp, like the day it was bottled. Bright with a tinge of green, no signs of TDN at all. Only the mellowed acidity gave any indication of age. Insane!

Despite all that, the wine itself was rather disappointing. Not really complex or deep, and finish was quite short. I guess it did come from a tough vintage. However, it had the classic Grunhaus lightness - drinking more like a kabi than spat. In conclusion, an easy fun drink that fell below expectations.

Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg Kabinett Riesling 2016

Less acid structure than '15 so the sugar reveals more of itself. Nonetheless an outstanding wine to drink with spicy broccoli salad. — 8 years ago

Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg Beerenauslese Riesling 2004

’04 was a cooler, higher acid vintage with limited botrytis. Nevertheless, this ABTSBERG Beerenauslese was tasting like true AMBROSIA, meaning “the nectar of the gods”. This heavenly Ruwer Riesling is quite drinkable now in a half bottle, but still has years of life left in it. You could pair it with a fruit-based dessert, but really it is dessert all by itself:-) — 10 years ago

Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Kabinett Trocken Riesling 1995

BR was only off by a decade in this blind, which is both a testament to her blind-tasting acumen and the producer's greatness. She thought it was an 05' which given how young this was looking, was a forgivable mistake. The producer was an easy one - that unmistakable green tea aroma with streaks of white flowers, kaffir lime, and anise was just so Grunhaus. How she figured out it was from Abtsberg still baffles me, but I guess it was really just a 50/50 shot once the producer was established. Finally the lightness and dry linear finish placed it right in the Kabinett Trocken territory. Bravo, BR! As for me, the wine was just too digestible to have warranted any thought when drinking - disappeared over lunch with a good half of the effort contributed by yours truly. — 4 years ago

Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg Superior Riesling 2017

Nice wine. A bit more powerful of a style. Bottled just a few weeks ago - quite fresh. Finish was a bit thin at first but with some air firmed up and the acid made itself know. Mouth filling with good fruit and acidity, and a bit of earth. — 8 years ago

Curriculum Vitae Douro 2011

Сверхтонкая молочная нота, печёная слива, черника, ежевика, вишнёвая косточка, жирная земля, кожа, гвоздика, чёрный перец горошком, тапенад, мята. Полное тело, густо и концентрированно, с почти портвейновым тоном, однако не оставляет ощущения пережатости и при всей своей гедонистической спелости достаточно стройно и свежо. Уже развито, но с достаточным потенциалом. — 9 years ago

Vintage Porto 2011

My 2000th archive on @Delectable Wine !

This port was a huge surprise, in a great way. Plush and dense blue fruit, with purple color staining the glass. Reminiscent of a WA Syrah, with sweetness.

This wine has many years of aging potential, yet drinks beautifully today. 🍷

Van Zeller is the producer of this Quinta.
