For many, Roman Niewodniczanski remains an iconoclast, railing on about the misuse of categories like kabinett or spatlese and lamenting over how sweet so many German rieslings have become. In much of this he is correct. That said, he has begun to mellow, realizing that his off-dry style remains a niche that he must continually illuminate. Interestingly, given the bracing acidity levels of this vintage, his 2010s have a touch more residual sugar than did the 2009s. Although I remain an ardent fan of his 2008s, I'll bet that the best from his 100-year-old ungrafted vines is yet to come.
