Merry Christmas to all on Delectable! The best drop during our wine squad’s pre-Christmas gathering has to be this masterpiece from Tim Frohlich. Such insane concentration, yet so filigreed and focused. The trademark reduction and vintage's ripeness gave it such an intense jackfruit character. Notes of herbs, spices, and ripe oranges too, as well as hints of mint and white florals. The palate was dense, silky, and straight up powerful, but never heavy - it remained juicy, bright, and saline throughout. And the finish here was just something else. It went on and on, filled with zingy citrus and a smoky, stony minerality. Really impressive stuff here and definitely a worthy contender (vs. Felseneck) for the title of Schafer-Frohlich’s top wine. — a year ago

... BUT, was the last bottle of the evening, with many before it. Can't really remember. Gave this rating the morning after. Should re-try for more accurate rating. — 12 years ago

A red wine with a lot of power and potential, aged in large wooden barrels. Unique fruit, elegant tannin structure. Strongly recommended. — 4 years ago

I will say to me this does not have a pleasant nose. So fair warning. However, getting past it you will be rewarded. I can't say I have had a bunch of these but this one to me reminded me of a smooth, spicy Pinot. Acid was in check. Black fruits and touches of tobacco mix well. This drinks very easily so be careful to slow down and enjoy the wine. — 7 years ago

You know in Pulp Fiction, when Ms. Mia Wallace is doing whatever illicit drug she's doing in the bathroom, and then says, "I said God damn!" -- well, this is my Ms. Mia Wallace moment. From the Nahe, this is the 2015 Schafer-Frohlich Riesling Vulkangestein Trocken. Coming from 30-40 year old vines in Felsenberg and Stromberg, the Estate's volcanic soil grand crus. For me, this encapsulates everything 2015 was meant to be... gorgeous, lush fruit, rocking acidity, beautiful balance, vivid aromatics, and laser-beam precision and tension. Damn. This is total prima ballerina dancing on your tongue. Nose/palate: lemon blossoms, orange blossoms, grapefruit, kiwi, passionfruit, so lively, and in-your-face minerality. Brilliant. — 7 years ago
