This bottling, relying largely on Haart’s centenarian vines in the Ohligsberg, delivers pithy, chewy concentration at least as formidable as that of the corresponding Goldtröpfchen and far greater than that of the corresponding “village-level” Wintricher. But it lacks that ostensibly lesser wine’s mouthwatering salinity and charm. Intimations of lemon and white peach on the nose point to the fruits found on a firm, substantial palate, but seed and pit are more evident there than is fruit flesh.

There is a sense of refinement and clarity here that goes beyond what one experiences from the corresponding Goldtröpfchen (which was harvested a day earlier, at 93 Oechsle), and Haart considers that refinement characteristic of this site, along with its achieving optimal ripeness at lower must weights (here 90 Oechsle) “even though the grapes from Goldtröpfchen are more beautiful and perfect-looking,” he added.

A Riesling with a sunny disposition, this one prominently features lemon and grapefruit in a combination of zesty aromatic pungency and bittersweetness with bright juiciness. There is a silken feel and a pleasant hint of textural oiliness, along with a sense of extract-richness allied to buoyancy. As was the case with this collection’s non-Grosses Gewächs dry wines, nutty piquancy and a strong undertone of wet stone serve for finishing counterpoint, but here – in contrast with what one frequently observes in Grosse Gewächse, and despite lower residual sugar – I don’t experience the austerity that accrued to this year’s “SL" Kabinett and Spätlese trocken. Instead, there is a long burst of refreshing, citric juiciness and a hint of salinity that together leave one coveting the next sip. This appears to be one of those frequent instances where I have a decided preference for a wine that its grower prices as his or her “least” Grosses Gewächs; and growers are fond of telling me that I gravitate toward the most accessible bottling. Well, one can only appreciate what is currently accessible, and I sure do appreciate what’s on offer here!Inc. TAX€316.69 -

A Riesling with a sunny disposition, this one prominently features lemon and grapefruit in a combination of zesty aromatic pungency and bittersweetness with bright juiciness. There is a silken feel and a pleasant hint of textural oiliness, along with a sense of extract-richness allied to buoyancy. As was the case with this collection’s non-Grosses Gewächs dry wines, nutty piquancy and a strong undertone of wet stone serve for finishing counterpoint, but here – in contrast with what one frequently observes in Grosse Gewächse, and despite lower residual sugar – I don’t experience the austerity that accrued to this year’s “SL" Kabinett and Spätlese trocken. Instead, there is a long burst of refreshing, citric juiciness and a hint of salinity that together leave one coveting the next sip. This appears to be one of those frequent instances where I have a decided preference for a wine that its grower prices as his or her “least” Grosses Gewächs; and growers are fond of telling me that I gravitate toward the most accessible bottling. Well, one can only appreciate what is currently accessible, and I sure do appreciate what’s on offer here!In Bond€240.00 -

Wine Advocate (93)
Thomas Haag’s 2010 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule is more delicate and wafting than the corresponding Spatlesen (which were already striking in those departments). Mint steeped in kiwi and honeydew melon liqueur makes for a heady nose and luxuriantly luscious yet practically weightless, honeyed palate that would become syrupy were it not for the electric current of acidity that courses through this wine all the way to its penetrating, gripping, invigorating finish, carrying with it a remarkable sense of stony minerality and mouthwatering salinity such as one wouldn’t ordinarily associate with a wine this ripe. This strikingly bright, almost inhalative Auslese should be worth following for at least a quarter century.In Bond€113.00
