2004 German wine – the tasting notes

For an overview of the 2004 vintage in Germany, see fine wine news.

See also my suggestions for what to buy, divided by wine style.

About 250 tasting notes appear below, all 2004s except for four 2003s, all Rieslings unless stated otherwise (there are one or two reds). The wines are grouped by producer,  listed alphabetically by name or surname ignoring von, Geheimrat, Schloss and Schlossgut etc.  Regions are stated but all mixed up. Contact details have been included where I know them. I also have given UK retailers and very approximate retail prices in italics where I know them.
