Picked out earlier than the estate’s Grosses Gewachs and exclusively in dark slate-dominated parcels, Schafer-Frohlich’s 2010 Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Spatlese drips lusciously with ripe pear, apple, and crenshaw melon, wreathed in peony and tinged with saliva-inducing salinity that renders its finish mouthwatering and invigorating. Another superbly balanced example of elements that on paper seem extreme, this ought to exhilarate (and may well become more complex) over the next 12-15 years.David Schildknecht for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91 pts
