Emerging from the esteemed vineyards of Saarburger Rausch, the Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese 2009 offers an indulgent taste of superior German craftsmanship. Hand-harvested with meticulous precision, this outstanding wine reverberates with the expertise of the Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken estate, revered for its dedication to viticulture since 1742. This magnificent Riesling Auslese exudes the distinct terroir of Saar Valley, a unique composition of weathered grey slate and iron-rich soil, delivering an indelible minerality in every sip.

Characterised by an aromatic bouquet of ripe apricots, candied lemon peel, and subtle hints of honey, it possesses a remarkable ageing potential. Its vibrant acidity and persistent sweetness yield perfect harmony, making the Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese 2009 a cherished addition to any discerning wine collector's selection.

Vinous (90)

Lively aromas of quince, apricot pit and lemon oil. Elegant passion fruit on the palate, with delicate freshness and crisp, saline minerality. With its bright finish, this is one of my favorite kabinetts of the vintage

Smoky, pungent, and animal evocations of peat, sweat, and musk oil mingle with scents of peach, Rainier cherry, and grapefruit on the nose of Keller’s 2009 Riesling G-Max, then saturate the palate in an enveloping manner impressively unlike that of the other dry Rieslings in his present collection. This is so richly-fruited and plush in texture, and its abundance of flavor registers as such an extract-rich infusion, that the contrast with the sense of transparency and vibrancy projected by the corresponding Abtserde could scarcely be more dramatic. Yet even so, this G-Max comes off as anything but weighty. Peaty smokiness; musky floral essences; crushed chalk; peach kernel and cherry pit piquancy, all impinge distinctively amid an otherwise seamlessly dense ocean of flavor whose finish both engulfs and buoys you. Eleven days (!) after having been opened for my initial tasting, contents of this same bottle of G-max were still full of vibratory energy. I imagine at least a 15 year run of glory for this remarkable Riesling.

Now not slated to be released until 2011, Keller’s 2009 Westhofener Morstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs seems almost at pains to prove the wisdom of that choice by offering a pithy fruit skin chew and an almost gum-numbing, persimmon-like pungency, allied to tingling brightness of fresh lemon, pink grapefruit, and bitter tartness of its zest that offer a prickly rebuff to anyone anticipating immediate pleasure. This is an embryonic and severely concentrated young Riesling, though one whose energy certainly appears equal to its sheer density. It finishes with pointed bitterness, blazing citric intensity, and a formidable, near avalanche of crushed stone and other less identifiable mineral elements – seemingly unstoppable ? which is not the same as saying it’s irresistible (at least, not for now)! I wrote in my initial notes that “only time can tell whether this has a gentler side to its undeniably complex and formidable personality, and it will be most interesting to follow its evolution during the coming decade.” Eleven days later (!), Keller confronted me, blind, with the contents of the same bottle, and the wine was not only pristine in terms of its absence of oxidation, it also displayed greater primary juiciness and clarity to a more refined diversity of mineral elements.

Wine Enthusiast (100)

Ethereal aromas of peach nectar, apricot preserves, orange zest and candied almonds waft from the glass. Full texture and luscious flavors of caramelized pineapple, orange marmalade, honeycomb, ripe summer peach, and Turkish delight. Its extreme sweetness is held in check by vibrant but not overpowering acidity. Drink through 2059.

Now with a couple years in bottle, I am erring to the Taylor’s over the Fonseca (although these can always change!) The Taylor’s show more delineation and refinement with pure black currant, cassis, pencil box, hints of marzipan and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and sumptuous with super-fine tannins, very pure blackberry and boysenberry notes interlaced with cedar, dried fig and a touch of black pepper on the beautifully refined finish. Excellent.

The esteemed Von Schubert estate in the beautiful Ruwer valley of Germany offers the lavish Maximin Grunhauser Bruderberg Riesling Auslese Jungfernwein 2009, a true gem amongst Rieslings. An Auslese label implies 'selected harvest', signifying grapes that are fully ripe and often nobly affected by botrytis cinerea - the noble rot mould. This maintains an enchanting and sophisticated balance, leading to a characteristic taste profile resonating with sweetness and acidity.

Crafted with artisan skill, the 2009 vintage reveals an ethereal cascade of apricot, pear, and almond blossom aromas, underpinned by crystalline minerality and intriguing spicy undertones. Each sip delivers a complex palate with delicate layers of honeyed fruit, rich marmalade and a lingering minerally edge. Gustatory critic approval further substantiates Von Schubert Maximin Grunhauser Bruderberg Riesling Auslese Jungfernwein 2009's exceptional reputation as one of the best sweet Rieslings available for the discerning oenophile.

Vinous (92)

Deep ruby. Vibrant, expressive aromas and flavors of kirsch, dark chocolate and flowers. Very dense, fat and sweet, with excellent inner-mouth energy leavening the impression of lushness. Finishes long and sweetly tannic, with a bit of brandy to be absorbed. This has the density and tannic clout for a graceful evolution in bottle.

One of the best things about wine is its limitless nature. Even professionals with 30 years under their belt come across new regions and new varietals all the time – it is the passion/hobby/profession that just keeps on giving. If you have not yet experienced the profound Gruners or Rieslings from Austria, the sweet nectar that is Tokaji from Hungary, the precise and terroir driven German Rieslings with unrivalled drinkability, the wild and sometimes bloody reds of Portugal, or any other of the beauties found off the beaten track, you are in for a treat. For wine can transport you to another place and time just by popping the cork, and there is a whole world full to discover.
