Fungerte godt til maten, og selskapet. Sjasmin og skifer, passe fylde og solid syre. Litt hegg. Bedre en 23 årgangen . (156 views) | | | Tasted by Svein Vold on 4/11/2024 & rated 90 points: Lys sitrongul med et grønnskjær. Rike dufter av lime, grønt eple og våt stein. I munnen lime, eple, stikkelsbær og noe steinfrukt á la aprikos. Litt flint/røyk. En anelse sødme og en fenomenalt frisk syre. Medium konsentrasjon, medium body. Fantastisk ren, pur, transparent Riesling, slik bare Mosel kan oppdrive! Har hatt godt av et år på langs, blitt mer integrert og avrundet i kantene enn da den var helt blodfersk. Men ung og fresh på primærfrukten fortsatt! Ikke noe 10-15 års prosjekt dette, denne drikker best ungt! Men et år eller tre har den godt av, kanskje litt til òg. (386 views) | | | Tasted by grysanatomy on 9/10/2023 & rated 88 points: Noe lukket, med duft av citrus og sjø. Smaker overraskende fruktig, aprikos, grønne epler og noe mineralitet. Drukket til sushi, men står seg fint alene og. (1613 views) | | | Tasted by BårdKB on 8/26/2023 & rated 86 points: Veldig lys, grønne epler, lime. Syrefrisk men litt tynn? Bra for prisen, men tror tidligere årgang var bedre. (1393 views) | | | Tasted by Jakob s on 8/1/2023 & rated 88 points: Very nice. Citrus, apple, minerality. Fresh and light. (1338 views) | | | Tasted by nedberg on 7/2/2023 & rated 87 points: Riesling-frukt, hint av røyk, fin fylde. Varer lenge (1595 views) | | | Tasted by FjordogFjell on 6/27/2023 & rated 88 points: Til sushi med kånå. Forsmak fin lukt med epler sjasmin og skifer. Smaken følger opp med klar frukt solid syre og skifer mineralsk avsluttning. Overaskende flott (1661 views) | | | Tasted by jarlebass on 6/24/2023: Godt balansert. Drukket til reker og loff, men fungerer nok også som terrassevin. Trengte litt tid i glasset for å åpne seg. Frisk duft av sitrus og urter. Mineralsk, saftig smak, med sitrus og lite bitterhet. (880 views) | | | Tasted by andrei trolldeig on 6/15/2023 & rated 91 points: Seriously delicious. Haribo for adults. Have not gone for this entry cuvee earlier years, but this is the third already of the 2022. Pnp its all flowers, focused, mineral tickle. But opening the last half of the bottle now 4 days later, wow! Rich nose with sour yellow green spice note, consistent over to the palate, candied melon, salt, over to the usual riesling suspect of kefir lime. Quite long, great concentration for a village.
Had the JJ kabinett 21 at a restaurant a month a go that did not engage, but maybe with more air as well.. (998 views) | | | Tasted by Maritmh on 6/10/2023: Drukket pa terrassen en lordag i juni med melon og skinke. Veldig god - HC, Erling og Ingrid (897 views) | | | Tasted by Oleidole on 5/26/2023 & rated 88 points: Grønne epler og grønne stikkelsbær. God lengde og veldig frisk syre. Drukket til rekesmørbrød - god match. (773 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 5/6/2023 & rated 85 points: Floral and fresh Riesling aromas. Light weighted, juicy and tart on the palate. (767 views) | | | Tasted by Djoehl on 5/5/2023 & rated 89 points: Decanted. Smell of raspberries, ripe fruit. Taste of raspberries, gooseberries. Perfectly balanced between sweet fruit and a good classic riesling. Very fruity finish. (927 views) | | | Tasted by Bear Bee on 4/28/2023 & rated 87 points: Nice fresh sourness in the opening. Summer feeling. Balanced fullness. Weaker finish, will improve. (799 views) | | | Tasted by Redwineisbestwine on 4/18/2023 & rated 83 points: im a total amateur, havent had many rieslings but this is my opinion right now:
its thin fresh, festive, yeasty on the nose, passion fruit flavour not very acidic,watery mouthfeel some subtle citrus and bitterness at the end (870 views) | | | Tasted by Toggie on 4/14/2023: Fikk top score i DN (947 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)Mosel Saar RuwerStarting in 2007 the German wine authorities have changed labeling laws to rename all of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines to just "Mosel." This puts this and other database driven sites in a difficult spot, as millions of old wine label reflect the former labeling. As described here, CellarTracker has elected to remain with the old labeling for a number of years to avoid confusion. At some point we will switch over to just "Mosel" but not for a few years at least.

#2018 Vintage Notes:
"Acid levels are relatively low throughout Riesling-growing Europe (acidification will once again be permitted in Germany – no surprise, as that’s been the case in eight of the last 10 vintages); but because malic acid was baked off or degraded by relentlessly balmy weather means, what acid remains is overwhelmingly of the efficacious tartaric sort. Extract levels are low, as one would anticipate from a growing season during which relatively little moisture was coursing through the vine’s roots and shoots. [...] Everyone is astonished how there could have been so much juice despite the drought." - David Schildknecht
"2018 is a homogenous vintage with a very high general level, below which it seldom falls [...] It leads with blossom. It is perhaps 80% delicious and 20% fascinating." - Terry Theise
#2017 Vintage Notes:
"not so friendly towards light wines" - Milkmansteve
#2016 Vintage Notes: "Overall, 2016 is a charmer of a vintage with much immediate ripe and fruity appeal, not unlike 2011 (in fresher) or 2007 (in lighter). However, 2016 is far from being homogeneous, in fact it is composed of a mosaic of vintages, a result of the freakish growing conditions. Hidden inside the vintage, there are true gems with the balance of 1997, one of the best vintages ever, 2002 or even 2008. The bulk of the harvest was brought in with refreshingly moderate sugar levels. Overall, the Saar and Ruwer produced slightly fresher wines than the Middle Mosel but there are great differences between Estates. The good harvest conditions allowed for some Auslese, little BA and even TBA wines, but some remarkably pure and fruity Eiswein.
In general, 2016 offers the opportunity to acquire Riesling with great immediate ripe appeal: The vintage is a true charmer. At the top, 2016 is one of the most exciting and elegantly balanced vintage since the 1990s and well-worth stocking up for cellaring! In particular, we urge our readers to literally plunge onto the finest Kabinett and Spätlese: These are some of the most exciting and classic we have ever tasted. 2016 looks also set to become a major vintage for dry Riesling, provided the aromatics are not overripe. Lovers of dessert wines will find much to love in 2016 as the Auslese are pure and the Eiswein are gorgeously fruity. They should however also keep an eye open for the remaining stunning noble-sweet wines from 2015 which are still available here and there." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 36, July 2017
#2014 Vintage Notes:
"The heterogeneity of the 2014 vintage carries over onto the aging process. The top wines start to close down, as one would expect from these wines which are a remake of those from the 1990s. The wines affected by gin, saffron and mushroom flavors are still comparatively open and offer a not unattractive Scheurebe styled fruit opulence. We would opt to drink up these lesser wines except for the odd bottle and bury the little treasures of the vintage deep into the cellar." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 30, March 2016
#2013 Vintage Notes:
"The fruity-styled 2013 wines have firmed up significantly since last year and start to show signs of closing down, making the underlying acidity seemingly sharp and out of balance. The better dry wines have come out of their early armor of smoke and tannin but the acidity may prove quite challenging. Quite frankly, except for some smaller bottlings, this is a vintage to lay down and wait." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2012 Vintage Notes:
"The 2012 wines have put on some flesh and go through a 'fattier' phase which is not unlike what the 2007 went through at the same period. However, the zestier acidity cuts through this 'weight' and makes the wines thoroughly enjoyable at this early stage. In particular the fruity Kabinett and Spatlese as well as the off-dry and dry wines offer much pleasure. We expect these wines to close down over the coming year or two. Enjoy while it lasts!" - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2011 Vintage Notes:
"A bit to our surprise, the 2011 wines have shut down and go through a quite difficult and muted phase now. Their low acidity combined with their maturity makes them feel rich, opulent and often bulky, and thus not really enjoyable. We expect that these will need at least a decade to integrate their sweetness and gain in harmony. The only exception is the dry wines, whose low acidity makes for great food companionship." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2010 Vintage Notes:
"After a mellower period in 2012, many 2010 wines have firmed up and developed a stronger smoky side. However, most continue to shine through their fruit opulence, structure and deliciously zesty but ripe acidity. This suits in particular the off-dry bottlings, which have more charm than the legally dry wines. Will these wines close down? Actually, the softening acidity makes us wonder now but it also provides further evidence that these wines will turn out harmonious after all." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015
#2009 Vintage Notes:
"Most 2009 wines have closed down, which accentuates their round and soft side forward. Many can still be quite enjoyable but the times of primary fruit with its attractive aromatic expression and a generous acidic kick are now over. Except for the dry wines, we would definitely recommend keeping your hands off any bottle in your cellar and possibly buying more wines from this vintage on the market as these are true gems in the making." - Mosel Fines Wines, No. 27, March 2015 |
