'04 or '02? I have Portz from both vintages.
2002 - it suits his style in the Spätlese range, with very ripe, but juicy (i.e. not dried) grapes, and no botrytis until quite late in the season, and then only in the lower parcels (although I think Maschine got some). I love it as well - this is the vintage in which I bought the most magnums to drink on my deathbed.
Mind you, the usual suspects have some amazing wines as well. Theo Haart, my oh my. Every year I buy a few more bottles, and every time I think I haven't bought enough. The late bottled PG Spätlese is an encapsulation of all that is good about Riesling on slate.

just tasted 09 WG Kab. Really fine. Very different dirt from what I tend to encounter with the usual suspects in the mosel. Or so it seems.

The '09 WG spät might be the best one to date. There will be no more parcel-bottlings after '08, so most all grapes went in to the blended spätlese. Except the goldkap which in '09 is from old vines in Portz, Reiler and Sonnenuhr.

Arnt,
Did the legal fusspots finally catch up with Daniel regarding the parcel names, or did he just decide to stop doing it?

Yes it was due to problems with the officials he desided to drop the parcel-bottlings. He was warned again after the '08-vintage that they would not allow the neck-stickers he has been using. Daniel said he makes three spätleses now; Goldgrube, Kröver Steffensberg and the Estate spätlese, and in a way he feels it is enough. So he will not fight it anymore.

Thanks for the information. I wonder if this will resonate in Zeltingen with the Selbachs and their Rotlay, Anrecht and Schmitt bottlings (among others).
