Schloss Lieser
Thomas Haag Niederberg Helden GG Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Dry and exceptionally well-balanced, with apple, pear, lime, peach, wet stone, flint and pastry notes from extended lees aging. Beautiful now but with the acidity and intensity to last for several decades. Exceptionally long finish. A beautiful example of this great property’s wine.

Pop and pour. Pure gold in color. Settled since my last btl, and seems very much GG now. On the nose: pure slate, soft guava, intoxicating perfume of lemon, crushed herbs, peach. On the palate: fantastic acidity, dense peach, mint, cucumber. So juicy, my mouth keeps watering. Looooong finish. The best Niederberg Helden I've had?
I see there has been a lot of variation on these btls, so I am thankful this is so solid.

Pop and pour. On thr nose: soft petrol, peach, grapefruit, herbs, soft leesy notes. On the palate: good acidity, grapefruit, steely notes, peach, ok density, but a touch thin and erring on the side of shrill on the mid. This fell off a bit quickly...was hoping for more length. Still, for my experience, almost worth it for the nose alone, and very, very good.

Apr 16th, 2021My first time with this vntg. More spatlese on the nose than GG: lovely guava and mango, a touch of saffron, lychee, so tropical and dense. On the palate: good acidity and density: sour apple, lemon, here we get the GG extract and density. This intensifies in the mouth and has considerable density on the finish. Yum. Less well-delineated than '15 forward, and, unsurprisingly, showing more signs of age.
