We all have favorite wine estates. Von Schubert is one of mine. I don’t know exactly how many bottles I have amassed from Carl Von Schubert over the last 30 years, but frankly, I never get tired of anything I taste from the Von Schubert family (readers will remember the November 2015 Vinous Cellar Selection of the 1995 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Abstberg). I am especially a fan of their Abstberg wines (from the Abstberg vineyard, a Von Schubert monopole once reserved for the table of the Abbot of St. Maximin) and I’m always a little surprised when I drink anything from the estate that is less than grandiose, especially at the higher sweetness levels such as Eiswein.

Carl von Schubert searches in vain for another vintage with which to compare 1999. Certainly it yielded enormously ripe yet soft wines about which one at times is forced to pose a question rarely asked at this address: can they handle their sweetness? At the topmost Pradikat levels, sheer concentration of botrytized (or frozen) fruit won the day. There are two numbered single-fuder bottlings in '99 Auslese that I did not have an opportunity to taste. (Valckenberg)
