Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2008 Deidesheimer Hohenmorgen Trockenbeerenauslese - 375 ml Riesling (Pfalz)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $245

Exceeds even this producer’s stunning beerenauslese, featuring an even more intoxicating perfume of honey, dried apricots and candied pineapple, with slightly more acidity to provide balance to the extra level of sweetness, so much so that this wine comes across as refreshing on the finish, despite the incredibly high levels of sugar. Drink now–2050, possibly longer. — J.C. (3/1/2011)

Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2007 Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad Trockenbeerenauslese - 375 ml Riesling (Pfalz)

Cellar Selection

Price $333

The numbers on this wine are amazing (380 g/l residual sugar, 17 g/l TA), but even more impressive is how such an extremely sweet wine can remain reasonably drinkable, complex and harmonious. It’s musky and spice-laden, filled with dried apricot and honey flavors that linger on the incredibly long, citrusy finish. Should age indefinitely. — J.C. (6/1/2009)

Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2008 Forster Kirchenstück Beerenauslese 375 ml Riesling (Pfalz)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $239

Hugely sweet and decadent, this is a tour de force of botrytized winemaking. Honeyed citrus aromas are buoyed by hints of perfume and spice, with dried apricot flavors accented by spiced honey. Mouthcoating, rich and impossibly long, this wine should easily age for 40 or more years. — J.C. (3/1/2011)

Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2008 Forster Jesuitengarten Auslese 375 ml Riesling (Pfalz)

Online Exclusive

Price $74

A lush, sweet auslese, the 2008 Jesuitengarten from von Bassermann-Jordan is unctuous in texture and laden with tropical fruit, with just enough citrus for balance. It finishes long and sweet, but clean, inviting one back for another sip. Drink now–2025, possibly longer. — J.C. (3/1/2011)

Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2006 Forster Jesuitengarten Grosses Gewächs Spätlese Trocken Riesling (Pfalz)

Price $57

This is a rich, full-bodied dry Riesling. Honey, baked fruit and dried spices mix on the nose, while the flavors are a complex mélange of baked fruit, spice and mineral. This finishes with great intensity and length, courtesy of salty, brinelike minerality. — J.C. (6/1/2009)

points

Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2006 Forster Stift Ausles Riesling (Pfalz)

Price $44

Thickly textured, rich and sweet, this is an unctuous auslese, yet one that still comes across as well balanced. Clover blossom and pineapple aromas set the stage, followed by flavors of candied pineapple, light brown sugar and a touch of honey. Crisp acidity prolongs the finish and keeps it from becoming cloying. — J.C. (6/1/2009)

points

Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan 2007 Deidesheimer Hohenmorgen Auslese Riesling (Pfalz)

This sweet, luscious Riesling shows an incredible array of fruit character, ranging from pineapple to kumquat and superripe melon. So intensely fruity, it manages to hide whatever minerality might lie underneath, so if rocks are your thing, let this one age a good long time; otherwise, it’s delicious now. — J.C. (6/1/2009)
