TN: Nahe QbA

With leftovers (capon, squash, quinoa, bok choy) on Tuesday the 2007
Emrich-Schonleber "Lenz "Riesling (Nahe). Well-done QbA, a bit off-dry
with moderate acidity. Some mineral notes (chalk and flint), limey
citrus fruit with a little cherry, nice length for the level. Not
especially exciting, but interesting enough I to make me want to try
their pradikat bottlings.B

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Hi Dale. This guy is actually unknown to me, never tasted a single
bottle..., but wein-plus puts him in the 5* rank - world class. Your
description matches their notes for that wine, only that you have cherry and
they peach :-) 84pts - very good (verging on excellent!) and better than
2006.
Now the highest points were given to
Halenberg, Riesling, Weißwein, QbA, Trocken, Großes Gewächs, 28.00 ? - 94
Frühlingsplätzchen, Riesling, Weißwein, QbA, Großes Gewächs, 26.00 ? - 91+
Halenberg, Riesling, Weißwein, QbA, Trocken, 16.00 ? - 89
Halenberg, Riesling, Weißwein, QbA, -R- 88+
Halenberg, Riesling, Weißwein, Auslese, 22.00 ? - 88
The BA and ice wine have not been tested yet
Anders
PS
The
Halenberg, Riesling, Weißwein, QbA, Trocken, Großes Gewächs, 24.00 ? 2006
has got 97+...., only outranked by 0.08% of all tested wines of the last 8
years

Unfortunately the Halenberg GG is .....$76 here!

Sounds quite nice. Schonleber really does a great job with their dry
wines and their higher pradikats, and are definitely worth exploring.
From what I've tasted, the style is very forward/intense compared to
Donnhoff or even Diel - but the wines are generally very good. When
I'm a bit more mobile (should be getting a car in the next couple of
weeks) and able to make it down to NY, I'd be happy to pop one open
with you.

Cheers,
Salil

Wow! I see the Euro symbol didn't come through other than as a question
mark. So 26EUR for the GG 2007 becomes 76USD - pretty steep...

Look forward to meeting you in person, E-S or not!

Hi Anders
What year is your "Lenz "? I bought the 2007 yesterday and I am still
searching for
tasting notes and rating. Usually I do that before opening a bottle, much
like reading a novel before going to the movie.
Regards
Raymond

My Lenz? It was Dale who had one, and he wrote about 2007 giving notes
which I commented were close to those of my regular source, wein-plus.de
