Schloss Lieser
Niederberg Helden Gross Gewachs Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Outstanding. Nose of slate, vulcanized rubber, lemon, peach skins. Palate is spicy and dense with gobs of minerality and quite lithe and lean on the finish with lovely sour patch candy finish. Really elegant and substantial. Terrific complexity already.

Creamy yet tensile. Long citrusy finish. Chewy, dense, ripe and complex. Terrific balance here. Drinking very well now. Impressed by the precision.

@Delectable Wine there is a typo, this should read Grosses Gewachs. Whatever, it's ridiculously good, from pop and pour to air.

Undoubtedly Thomas Haag is one of Germany's best Riesling winemakers. At his estate Schloss Lieser he producers uncompromising Riesling from pure slate terroirs. Love it or leave it - this is Riesling from slate in perfection, a masterpiece, drink it now or over the next decade. This stuff is so good!!!
