Definitely showing age. Lacking the acidity to be a truly great old riesling.

This Rheingau riesling looked like pure gold. Perfect whiff of petrol, mixed with slate, honeysuckle and peach. Delicious acidity after 21 years! A very balanced off-dry style. Tasted like lemon, peach and slate. Not overly complex as it has turned the corner and started to drop off a bit, but still a good wine, especially with food.

Interesting. A bit past its prime, but still honied.

A magnificent wine from an outstanding vintage.

Very concentrated spatlese. Loads of peach and mango flavor up front and toasted almond at the finish.

Apricot pit and peaches on the nose. On the palate, the wine displays sharp acidity and good length on the finish. The wine needs a few years to develop fully.

crisp,drier than most, tasty

Wacky drinking experience: This wine started so flabby that it would have been better drunk straight from the bottle. After a moment in the glass, gorgeously cutting acidity was sparked and the wine shot to the back of the palate. Unfortunately, this strength lasted for only a couple of sips before the wine laid back down on the palate.

Soft sweet Riesling that matches well with spicy food. Citrus flavors, good finish but perhaps could do with a little bottle age to mellow out the sugar? Structure seems a little under defined.

A hair sour on the finish, but otherwise very pleasant with high acidity and good sweetness.

Apricot, melon, and peach on the nose. Good acidity and mineral flavors in the mouth that produces excellent structure. Excellent wine.

Pale gold in color, this wine has a compelling nose of incredibly ripe pear and honeysuckle aromas. In the mouth it is smooth and satin-like in texture with sunny flavors of pear, clover honey, and hints of citrus. It's towards the sweeter end of the Spatlese spectrum, and has a nice long finish with an undercurrent of minerality. Overall a sense of purity pervades the wine.

Dry, not much taste or complexity

A long tradition of Riesling excellence has lead to the taut strident wines produced at Schloss Vollrads today. One of the most sought after estates producing brilliant wines. The Spätlese is exceptional it will be even more so with 10 years in the cellar.
