Maybe not showing the big, fruit-packed and complex iteration that Willi Schaefer graces us with every year, but Bert Selbach's is damn good. The style whispers in your ear rather than booms like James Earl Jones. Both are good and both are needed. After some time open (10 hours) you do get the creamy apple-pie richness of Domprobst yet the complexity is not where I like it. Too young. After 5 days open it did not lose a step, but neither did it gain in anything much. Kind of just sat still and repeated its mantra. Clean, pure, slightly opulent, 2001 acids and young. My last bottle. Maybe Claude has some. I always drink my Weins Prum too young. I know how complex these can get as I've had glorious older bottles at the estate.

Thanks for your many notes on German wines, Lyle.
Maureen,
Not yet. I'll do it next week. But Karthauserhof made the best wines I have ever tasted from the estate and the '09's will be the last vintage where the Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg will be one vineyard. It will divided like it was back in the day the with five different sub-sections. Also the Auslese Trocken "S" will be a GG in 2009 for the first time. That's all I got now.
