As usual for its site, the Jamek 2007 Riesling Smaragd Freiheit offers a high-toned, pungent, faintly spiritous nose of apricot, apricot kernel, and citrus oils. Oily in texture, full and rich, this very ripe, subtly botrytis-influenced Riesling finishes with salted apricot and a prickly hint of grapefruit zest, and slight heat. More imposing than intriguing, I suspect it will be best drunk over the next 3-4 years. After witnessing as a customer first hand last year the virtual absence of any remaining wine under 13% alcohol in the wonderful Jamek restaurant (and that was only in late June), it was a relief to know that 2007 provided a goodly supply. That said, as is often the case at this address – and this year even at Federspiel level – botrytis was a frequent and at times less than felicitous influence.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.

At 13%, the 2006 Riesling Smaragd Freiheit is relatively modest in alcohol for the vintage, but its peony floral scent; ripe flavors of pear and apple; and esterous, voluminous and glossy-texture palate impression, all contribute to a slight sensation of sweetness that is not unusual from this site. The finish, while not enormously complex, is clear, pure, succulent, and refreshing. When I tasted at Jamek in June, three of their five Federspiel bottlings were already “drunk up” on the restaurant list, and there was no Steinfeder. What, I wondered, are the poor guests going to drink here in the heat of midsummer? It certainly was not going to have less than 13% alcohol. Ironically, few of the 2006s here were particularly ripe in flavors. Thankfully, though, there were no difficulties with botrytis at this address of the sort encountered in 2005.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
