Smoky pungency, spiced pear, prunelle, and creme de cassis aromas announce the 2006 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Auslese. An ethereal slick of pure botrytis secretions and pasted, over-ripe mango seems to coat the palate, just as its peppery, smoky pungency can’t be brushed away. Polished but (after the creaminess of so many Spatlesen) surprisingly firm in feel, this finishes with honeyed richness, intense berry sap and pungency, and underlying notes of coffee-mocha. It will certainly follow a fascinating course over at least the next quarter century. (DS)

A vibrant, sleek version, with concentration, yet the flavors are reticent at this stage. Hints of violet, grapefruit and dried apricot peek through, but this seems to be holding back. Has a nice creamy texture. Needs time. Best from 2013 through 2035. (BS)

Pale golden yellow. Aromas of apricot nectar and pineapple, with a hint of smoked meat. Smoke and honey give way to spicy acidity on the palate. Pure, delicate and persistent on the back end. (JP)
