John Gilman über den Jahrgang 2011: Tim Fröhlich has made another group of brilliant dry Rieslings in 2011, and it will be a great pleasure to compare this stellar set of Rieslings with the magical brilliance he produced with his derring-do in 2010. The two vintages are quite different stylistically here, but the unrepentant elegance and stunning depth and intensity of flavor of these very precise and dancing 2011ers may well be in the same league as the superb 2010 versions of each wine. At this early stage, it is far too soon to choose one vintage as superior over the other, but it is quite clear that Tim Fröhlich is currently at the height of his powers and any fan of the estate would be absolutely foolish to not chase down and put in the cellar as many of these great 2011ers as the budget will allow. While much of the wine world’s focus these days are on the brilliant dry Rieslings from Weingut Schäfer-Fröhlich, do not miss the superb noble sweet wines produced here in 2011, for they are all stunning and perhaps every bit as good as the dry wines in the portfolio this year. A great, great success for Tim Fröhlich this year!
