Frühlingsplätzchen Großes Gewächs Riesling
10 years young. Clementine, mint, slate. Amazing GG.

Apr 22nd, 2024Disappointing follow-up to the 17’ SF Felseneck. I blame it mostly on the vintage. It was not necessarily fat, but it was rounder than the Felseneck, and just lacked the Felseneck’s intensity and tension. Fresh, smoky, spicy, and quite mineral, it was still a pleasant wine though it struggled to stand out among its peers on the table. Perhaps more time would help develop more depth and definition, but I’m inclined to say it would never surpass the other whites on the night.

Jun 25th, 2020Developing beautifully after 6 years and can still age another 6+ years. Petrol notes are nicely intertwined with ripe apple, honeysuckle, wet stone and marzipan notes. Fresh juicy acidity and fairly long finish will allow further development.

Feb 12th, 2020Beautiful but at the same time somewhat disappointed, as it’s surprisingly evolved, offering plenty of secondary flavours including petroleum notes. Also ripe and does not provide the raciness usually associated with 2014. From Magnum.

May 4th, 2018Next to the more opulent #ClemensBusch #Falkenlay this gorgeous #Frühlingsplätzchen seemed restrained and almost shy like the cute little girl at the party that no one asks to dance.
Make no mistake...this is a real "Sleeping Beauty"! #EmrichSchönleber #2012 #grossegewächs #Riesling #Nahe

From magnum. Flinty aromatics add interest to its true core of white peach and lime scented, sincerely juicy finish. Great now, but better in 2020.
