GER-270. 08 KREUZNACHER KAHLENBERG SPAT, P ANHEUSER Very fresh. Honey and white fruits–peach, papaya. Very cool, crisp, and classic Kahlenberg. All the beauty that a prime Kreuznach site can give. Surprisingly accomplished at this point./ Peach, tropics, flowers, potpourri. This is complex. Spatlese intense and sweet and rich. Underdeveloped, of course, but not out of balance. Good sweetness and acidity in harmony. Terrific.

GER-289. 06 NAHE DORNFELDER SWEET, SCHLINK HAUS Here’s an answer for inquiries for sweet, unfortified red wines. The sweetness foils dornfelder’s astringency, and the astringency cuts the sweetness. Nicely fashioned.

JOHANNISBERG
GER-306. 06 JOHANNISBERGER KLAUS KAB, KRAYER Fresh and young. Lively, lilting, exotic, floral perfumes. Peach, melon, and golden citrus./ Fresh, cool, racy, and charming. More retarded than the Winkeler. Sugar will do that. Less verve, more roundness and depth. And bouquet potential. 90+/100.
How Many bottles/singles: 11.99 each
GER-307. 07 JOHANNISBERGER KLAUS AUS, KRAYER Full, spicy, minerally, sweet, ripe, golden./ Yes full bodied auslese stuff. Good strength and presence. The acidity remains coated, so this doesn’t deliver the fruit-juiciness so many of the 07 kabinetts and spatleses have shown us, especially the Mosels. No problem. Just needs time. Well liked by the group, some of whom commented this was the best Krayer wine they’d tasted.
Actually, I think this is the first time we’ve done one of his ausleses. 92+/100.

Lively, sleek, penetrating, alluring. Rich stone fruit nectar. Fine balance of roundness, and acidity. Kabinett dryness, spatlese intensity. Lively, tasty, demonstrative. And there’s so much more to come. 93+/100.

GER-316. 03 HATTENHEIMER NUSSBRUNNEN KAB, VON SIMMERN 03 fatness cut through by von Simmern minerality./ A little 03 youthful sweetness yet, but the von Simmern form and figure are there. Will improve for 2-3 years at least. 91+/100.
How Many bottles/singles: 13.49 each
GER-317. 05 HATTENHEIMER KAB, MOLITOR Uplifting. Reductive winemaking here has made a big difference.
