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
