Slightly less exotic than the Klosterberg, this one shines with a little more minerality. On the palate there's the real freshness of a succulent, sweet grapefruit, add to that some mouthwatering acidity and you have a real racy number. With Weil's wines I don't mention excellent length, I take it for granted! (MS) 18 out of 20

Weils 2009 Kiedricher Turmberg Riesling Spatlese marks a dramatic contrast with its Klosterberg counterpart in that here a strongly saline note offers mouthwatering invigoration and, along with juicy grapefruit, a wonderful foil to the richness of liquid floral perfume and white peach that abound on a dense, satiny palate. Piquant nut oils, fruit pits, vanilla, as well as a hint of truffle add complexity to this wines evocative, irresistibly succulent, unforgettably long finish. I would plan to follow this for at least a quarter century. -DS

Though ample in texture and ripeness, this is tightly wound and backed by a firm spine of acidity. Keeps its peach, apple and grapefruit flavors in check for now, especially on the firm finish. Everything is there, but this needs time. Best from 2013 through 2032. 340 cases made. -BS
