I thought it might be a good idea to check out on my 2010 Emrich-Schonleber "Mineral" after seeing the 2014 on the shelf downtown. I have invested some $$s on E-M over the years so was keen to see how the 2010 was showing on a cold snowy wintery night.
TN: 2010 Emrich-Schonleber Riesling "Mineral" Trocken, Nahe Ger.
12% alc, good cork, $30 Cdn, Lot 07-11. Opened one hour.
Color is a light to medium lemon, very attractive. Big aromatic aromas here with citrus, apricot, slate earth, apple for sure. Some floral tones on day 2 and still intense.
Initial entry thought is top drawer! Dry-ish, acidity is not overpowering. Might have seem some spritz in younger days? Some spicy mineral tones but not a big complex wine at last on day 1. Good fruit balance, apple, pear., unripe peach. "Like the refreshing crispness" from across the table in our igloo! The complexity holds up well on second day, nice harmony here. Think this could cellar longer but happy to pull from the cellar.
Food was pork snitzel with bok choy and minted mushrooms and sprouts.
