WTN: Yet more Nahe Riesling

by Salil » Wed Dec 03, 2008 7:19 pm

2005 Emrich-Schönleber Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling Spätlese
9.5% abv, got this recently from Dee Vine Wines. Light yellow-green in colour. Starts out showing sulfur on the nose which clears with some air to show lots of minerals, flowers, grapefruit and faintly oily notes. Lots of power and concentration on the palate - this has intense green apple, grapefruit, mineral and lime flavours and tremendous bracing acidity. Finishes dry with medium length. Very tasty now, but the density, structure and balance suggests this has a long life ahead. Have been drinking this over two days (with more still left in the fridge) and it's only gotten better with time.

Yeah, that pesky Donnhoff is so hard to drink through, isn't it? I'll drive over any time you need to make space and sacrifice my liver. :D

(And hey, I've also got the 06 Spatlese and Spatlese trocken from this vineyard - any time you're keen on having some Schonleber...)
