2002 Schlossgut Diel Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Nahe (11/12/2009)
nose: delicious nose of some petrol tones, all sorts of green and red apples, pears, and white fruits with a touch of minerality lying beneath

taste: sleek and smooth feel with excellent medium/high acidity and juicy tones of green apples, pears, bits of petrol and mineral notes

overall: this is really good right now. Its right at the begining of what should be a long window and is nice and round on the palate and leaves a real nice and long finish . The color is a lighter gold right now and the aromatics are a little bit tight on pop n pour (93 pts.)

Agreed - thank you for the note. Diel does not get the credit for making excellent wines the way his Nahe peers (Donnhoff, Schonleber, Frohlich) do, and that is unfortunate.
