2010 年份的 Riesling Pfaffenberg Reserve 帶有水芹、草藥、淺棕?zé)熑~和蠟豆的風(fēng)味。這款殘余糖分含量略低的 Salomon Pfaffenberg 帶有石頭和鹽的味道。由于酒中增添了萃取物，該酒比普通 Pfaffenberg 陳放時(shí)間更長，味道層次更為豐富。而我品嘗本款酒時(shí)，它僅在瓶中熟成了 2 個(gè)星期，之后可能會有所改善。

This offers an interesting combination of peach and lentil notes, with dashes of white pepper. The rich finish features buttery, smoky notes. Drink now through 2018. 300 cases made.??–KM??Region: Austria / Nieder?sterreich / Kremstal Select to Add

A 2006 Riesling Pfaffenberg Reserve labeled with the names of coats of arms of both Salomon and Metternich (whose vineyards in the Pfaffenberg the Salomons are now farming) is another very peachy, opulent expression of 2006 Riesling, with musky and pungent hints of over-ripeness and botrytis. Officially, this is halbtrocken. The saline, citric aspects of the “regular” Pfaffenberg are absent here and I wonder whether this will take on a bit more definition and clarity in the short run. At present, imposing though this wine is in its way, I would not recommend cellaring it. Erich Salomon succumbed to cancer last November (less than a week before Alois Kracher), but Berthold Salomon will continue the recent advances in quality at this estate as though his older brother were still looking on. Most of the harvest here took place in the second half of October.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300

The 2005 Riesling Pfaffenberg Reserve represents a blend between the previous batch of Pfaffenberg and a second that was harvested later but retained significant residual sugar. The finished blend has twelve grams. (I was a bit less convinced by a corresponding “reserve” blend from Kogel.) The label displays the names of coats of arms of both Salomon and Metternich, whose vineyards in the Pfaffenberg the Salomons are now farming. Quince, honey, malt, and caramelized peach figure prominently on the nose and palate, but there is refreshing citricity that was missing from the corresponding Kogel. Rich and polished in overall impression and not too overtly sweet, it soothes and envelops in its finish, eschewing the grip or pungency of this year’s “regular” bottlings. Just as they did last year, the Salomons bottled one Riesling consisting of the collected botrytis material of the vintage, but I found it disappointingly bitter and juiceless. Also recommended: 2005 Gruner Veltliner Hochterrassen ($15.00; 85), 2005 Riesling Steinterassen ($17.00; 84 ), 2005 Riesling Kogel Reserve ($39.00; 86+?).Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
