Selbach-Oster 2006

Last night I had the pleasure of tasting 12 different wines from the 2006 vintage of Selbach-Oster. I was lucky to have Johannes Selbach pour the wines. HE considers the 2006 vintage the best he has produced and he has produced many great wines in the past. We tasted everything from a hallbtrocken Kabinett to two BAs. They were all rich wines that reflected the terrior of where they were grown. Well balanced with nice fruit and acididity. They were great now but except for the kabinett they all need several years to really show how great they really are. He declassified some of the wines so some of the Spatllese is really and Auslese or BA. They are not yet in the US as most are being bottled now. The crop was small but great so those wanting great German Wines should pick them up as soon as they arrive in your local store. If anyone is interested I can give tasting notes. If I did so now this would be a very long post. Buy them and hold them.
