Vinous (97)
In no previous vintage has Felseneck found Stromberg breathing down its neck to the same degree; but Schäfer-Fröhlich’s flagship rises to the challenge and once again emerges with top honors. Penetratingly pungent but also hauntingly, bittersweetly-perfumed notes fill the nose: grapefruit, white currant, struck flint, violet and iris. The satiny but fundamentally firm, indeed, almost implacably dense palate presents a vibrantly tangy welter of citrus with crunchy tart berry and coriander seed, smoky, fusil and otherwise mineral nuances, and striking inner-mouth florality, all underlain by wet stone. Savor of fleur de sel improbably paired with bitter chocolate, adds to a mouthwatering, vibratory, dizzyingly complex finish that just won’t quit.Inc. TAX€150.53 -

Like the Spätlese, the 2014 Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese also offers a still reductive, somewhat untamed and very stony bouquet with a rather discreet fruit aroma. Round and juicy on the palate, this is an elegant, pure and salty Auslese of remarkable finesse and lightness. The wine seems a bit lighter and less concentrated than the Auslese from the Niederberg Helden. Nice purity and delicacy.In Bond€797.00 -
