Emrich-Schönleber Riesling Eiswein GK Auction Monzinger Halenberg 2010 375ml

98+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “There are not one, but two profound Eisweins from the Halenberg in 2010, with the Goldkapsel version destined to be auctioned off in Bad Kreuznach in September. But your plane tickets now! This is an absolutely stunning bottle of Eiswein, as it offers up a brilliant nose of lime zest, candied oranges, honeycomb, a stunningly complex potpourri of floral tones, liquid slate and just a hint of the fresh herb tones and smokiness of this terroir. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and fullish, with more precision and elegance than the “normal” Halenberg Eiswein, with profound depth, snappy acids and a gem-like glitter on the gossamer-strung and endless finish. A brilliantly elegant high-wire act. 2015-2040. (Mar/Apr 2011)”

98 points Joel B. Payne (Vinous): “Pale golden yellow. Lively aromas of apricot pit, mint and oyster shell. The passion fruit extract is juxtaposed by vivacious acidity, giving the wine great poise. A wine of enormous depth; pure, refined and finely spiced through its extremely long finish. One of the great wines of the vintage. (Jan 2012)”
