Although Christian Witte has done an excellent job improving the quality of this estate's dry rieslings in the three years that he has been at the helm, I was unprepared for this year's showstopper: the 2006 Erstes Gewachs is the finest wine of its kind that I have ever tasted here. Given the large selection of old wines maturing in the vast, vaulted "bibliotheca subterranea" here, that is a bold statement. Add to that the difficulty that most estates had with the 2006 vintage, and this collection is all the more to be admired.
