Schloss Lieser Doctor Riesling Auslese  |
$75 |
6 |
|
| |
WA 96 (4/2018): Filled in 375-milliliter bottles, the 2016 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese is remarkably deep, cool, fresh and mineral on the nose, with flinty grapefruit and mocha/coffee bean flavors (probably coming from the ripe pips of the very small berries). Lush, round and intense but very elegant and with a serious, persistent structure and raspberry flavors, this is a pure and piquant, beautifully grippy and stimulatingly salty Auslese with excellent aging potential. Great tension and complexity here. From 80-year-old vines, this was picked in early November, a few days before the GG. Tasted March 2018.
VM 94 (1/2018): A heady nose of decadent lily, musky peony, pineapple, pink grapefruit, cassis and overripe Persian melon sets the stage for a subtly creamy, expansive, rich yet delicate palate impression, with pineapple and grapefruit serving for welcome tang and brightness to complement the wine’s textural creaminess, effusive inner-mouth perfume and luscious but overripe fruit tendencies. The combination of richness and exuberance here is really striking, and the superbly sustained finish is both ringingly clear and infectiously juicy, virtues one doesn’t encounter often in an Auslese and that I least expected in one from the Doctor. Haag says that the fruit here was botrytis-free and that is indeed how it tastes. What an auspicious first-ever Schloss Lieser Doctor Auslese! (And this wine was not auctioned but instead sold to private customers and the trade through the estate’s regular price list.) (Drink between 2017-2045). David SChildknecht. |

Schloss Lieser Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese |
$35 |
11 |
|
| |
| VM 92 (1/2018): Lime, grapefruit, cassis and smoky black tea combine for a head-turningly intense nose and correspondingly generously juicy impression on a silken palate. Like this year’s Goldtröpfchen Kabinett, this boasts a finish of unusual sheer brightness for that site, accompanied by cooling green herbal infusions, stimulating fruit seed piquancy and a mouthwatering dose of mineral salts. (Drink between 2017-2035). David Schildknecht. |

Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Auslese |
$60 |
6 |
|
| |
WA 96 (4/2018): The 2016 Niederberg Helden Riesling Auslese displays clear, fresh and exotic fruit with a highly delicate slate spiciness. Lush and highly elegant, with mouth-filling but highly refined and elegant fruit and very fine crystallinity, this is a terribly fine and filigreed as well as sensual and persistent Helden Auslese. Perfectly balanced, with a mouthwatering and charming finish. Tasted March 2018.
VM 91 (1/2018): Very ripe but fresh peach and muskmelon are mingled with pink grapefruit and lightly shrouded in musky, dusty scents. The glycerol-rich, subtly creamy palate is lusciously fruity with the grapefruit serving to enhance an exotic sense of ripeness but also to supply a modicum of welcome citric juiciness and zest. Hints of brown spice add to the allure of an impressively persistent finish, albeit not one exhibiting the clarity, brightness or mineral dimension displayed by the best wines in this latest Schloss Lieser collection. While Haag reports having harvested very little nobly rotten fruit, this wine certainly strikes me as significantly influenced by botrytis, with both virtues and drawbacks. (Drink between 2017-2035).

Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Spatlese |
$45 |

|

WA 93 (4/2018): The 2016 Niederberg Helden Riesling Spätlese is clear, fresh and pure but very reduced at this early stage. Lush, intense and racy on the palate, this is a salty-piquant and grippy Spätlese with tension and aging potential. Keep it for 8 to 10 years! Tasted March 2018.
VM 92 (1/2018): Mirabelle, pear and white peach on the nose translate into generous fresh fruit juiciness on a polished, silken palate. Honeydew melon adds a ripe and luscious dimension to the fruit as it heads into a sustained, buoyant, slate-lined finish that both soothes and stimulates. The high residual sugar here is entirely supportive and its sweetness unobtrusive. (Drink between 2017-2035). David Schildknecht. |

2016 |
Schloss Lieser Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett |
$35 |
12 |
|
| |
WA 93 (4/2018): The 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett displays upfront fruit of perfectly ripe and lush stone fruits. On the palate, this is a very salty, lush and piquant Kabinett with lingering salinity and mineral tension. Gorgeous. Tasted March 2018.
VM 91 (1/2018): There is considerable fermentative “Mosel stink” on the nose that only gradually lifts enough to reveal site-typical apple wreathed in honeysuckle and heliotrope. Perhaps not coincidentally, while picked at around the same 90 Oechsle as the other site-specific Haag Kabinetts of the vintage, this one exhibits the most striking sense of delicacy. “It may be,” Haag suggested, “that this is a Kabinett for the real Mosel Riesling freaks.” It’s also one for fans with patience. The feel here is subtly creamy and the long finish clears nicely to feature persistent inner-mouth floral perfume and stony underpinnings as well as succulent fruit reinforced by high but remarkably unobtrusive residual sugar. (Drink between 2019-2028). David Schildknecht. |
