Tasting notes
Aged two years, Breuer's 2015 Rheingau Riesling Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg is extremely pure and "dusty" at the moment, and the stony (flint stone) notes dominate the fruit and give the wine an extremely mineral expression. Intense and round yet super pure and salty on the palate, this is a complex, finessed and elegant Berg Schlossberg with a long, persistent, tightly structured and stimulatingly salty finish. Keep it for another 3-5 years, at least. Tasted December 2017, so unfortunately, I didn't taste it alongside the Berg Roseneckm which I scored even higher two months earlier.

The nose here boasts head-turning floral profusion to rival a Rauenthaler, with musky suggestions of narcissus as well as iris and buddleia. Scents and juicy profusion of fresh white peach, lemon and lime are accented by nut and fruit pit piquancy and a hint of resin from cask. The zesty side of citrus lends invigoration without turning bitter or disturbing this beauty’s sense of clarity, harmony and textural polish. Mouthwatering salinity and browned butter savor add to the allure of a vibrant finish that is loaded with intrigue but doesn’t neglect Riesling’s first duty to refresh.
