Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken Riesling 2021

Compared to the last Becker dry Spatlese tasted, this was less inviting: a bit more mineral & stony, with none of the fruit flavors associated with Riesling to be found. Very chiseled & imagine needs time in bottle/ long decant. You can still taste the precision though. — a month ago

Wallufer Walkenberg Auslese trocken Riesling 2011

Liquid gold in the glass. Amazing depth of flavour and complexity. Ripe fruits and earthy notes in the background. Would instantly drink again! — 2 years ago

Alte Reben Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken Riesling 2015

En-magnum and opened for my baby boy’s first birthday, this Becker was a hit with the crowd. I thought it could have been better though. Frankly, this had a little more petrol note than I’d like, but it still showed excellent energy. Earthy, salty, powerful, and laser-sharp. Hope to try a better sample down the line. — 4 months ago

Great idea to start them on Riesling early in life.

1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 4 years ago

I'll probably forget it for 2x that, TBH. 2015 will be very long lived.
