94 John Gilman - View from the Cellar

"While there are not a whole lot of noble sweet wines in the cellars this year, the two Spatlesen that Tim Frohlich has fashioned from the Felseneck are absolutely outstanding. The 'regular' Spatlese offers up a beautifully filigreed and pure bouquet of pink grapefruit, tangerine, slate, bee pollen and a lovely topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is medium-full, pure and rock solid at the core, with bright acids, beautiful interplay of soil, fruit and floral tones, bright acids and superb length and grip on the focused and flawlessly balanced finish. A stellar bottle of Spatlese. 2014-2040."

"Picked out earlier than the estate's Grosses Gewachs and exclusively in dark slate-dominated parcels, Schafer-Frohlich's 2010 Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Spatlese drips lusciously with ripe pear, apple, and crenshaw melon, wreathed in peony and tinged with saliva-inducing salinity that renders its finish mouthwatering and invigorating. Another superbly balanced example of elements that on paper seem extreme, this ought to exhilarate (and may well become more complex) over the next 12-15 years."
