Vintage 2017 / Erste Lage Eschendorfer Lump #riesling #spätlese with 92 gram residual sugar. Way too young. Almost no smell at this stage of life. But só promising and terrific balance. — 6 years ago

I got this old bottle at a #German #auction about 15 years ago and, on a whim, decided to serve it recently with a shrimp and avocado salad under a delicate, yet rather simple oil and vinegar dressing... the result was sublime as the nearly fifty-year-old bottle was uncannily fresh... a marvelous foil to the sharper, more savory dressing. Yes, it still had some residual sugar and that was a good thing as was the excellent core of ripe acidity that played a strong roll in the wine's remarkable balance--BRAVO! #1969 #JacobHamm #Winkeler #Jesuitengarten #Riesling #Cabinet #Spätlese — 8 years ago

This 22-year-old #Saar #Riesling was as fresh as spring itself--the balance between the steely acidity and gentle honeysuckle sweetness left us breathless--easily the fastest-to-empty bottle of them all--BRAVO #EGON!!! #EgonMüller #Scharzhofberger #spätlese #1994 — 8 years ago

Vintage 2016 #riesling #spätlese has good balance and an inviting freshness. I do like this cuvee more than the dry ones... #ahr — 6 years ago

Fred #Prinz' attractive #Rheingau #Rieslings inevitably say "pear extract" to me. They also have a mineral floral aspect that gives them a racy complexity and they are consistently well-structured, allowing them to age for decades. This #2007 was an unmitigated triumph for him and one that after nearly a decade has blossomed into a gorgeous #Riesling! #spätlese — 8 years ago

A fine example of late-harvest #Riesling that is nearly ten years old and beautifully evolved--honeycomb and tropical fruit notes with ample botrytis flavors leave a lasting, very clean impression. #Knebel #WinningerRöttgen #spätlese #Mosel

One of my favorite producers from the #Rheingau Straw gold hue. Rich, over-ripe yellow fruits on the palate. Quince, Asian Pear, honeydew....#spätlese #trocken dry, late harvest #Riesling. Simply elegant and refined from beginning to end! — 7 years ago

WOW! This declassified #Auslese is such the #botrytis bomb... packed with layers of luscious caramel and creme brulée flavors that linger decadently on the palette. Had this with fois gras at The Village Pub last week and it was an extraordinary pairing! #2006 #SchlossSommerhausen #Sonnenuhr #Spätlese
