My first bottle I tasted by Lukas was meh for me at the time a few years ago. Everything I’ve tasted since has been stunning. This is the beauty of tasting and studying — a year ago

2020 Lukas Hammelmann Riesling Zeiskamer Klostergarten Kabinett

Let's "Slow Decant" this German kabinett for two weeks

DAY 1
👃A definite attention grabber with apples, oranges, pears, smoke, minerals, white florals and mint. Whoa!
👅Loaded but never weighty. The sweet fruit is also rich and tangy. Limes and oranges. Good acidity and a gracious midpalate. A total joy to drink

Let the remaining wine Slow Decant in my refrigerator for two weeks

DAY 14
👃Rocky minerals dominate and are complemented by white florals, ripe orange/ apples. A touch of musk. Lots going on🙌
👅Sweet fruit like apples, li mes, and oranges with minerals. Slightly creamy. Very solid midpalate and proper kabinett sweetness

This Klostergarten Kabinett is great now and it's going to be greater as it should reward lots of cellar time👍

Every bottle of Lukas Hammelmann wine that I open impresses me greatly. He is making wines that deserve your attention. He has mine👏

Funk at first, deep nose, rhubarb, dark cherry, leather,red moss? The nose is deceptively deep at first, but the wine isn’t heavy, it’s meaty on the palate, slightly chewy, dark fruits and savory notes. Chinon in Stellenbosch.
Excellent vino.
Only seven barrels. Put up in “ old French oak”. Very interesting. I bet some more more time would help with the pronounced drying.

Medium ruby . Touch of blackberry and ripe dark fruits , then black pepper , spice and granite . Quite deep and richer fruit , blackberry , dark cherry , touch of bacon fat , fills out nicely on the palate. Raspy tannins , good acidity . Pretty good length. Balanced alcohol . Again needs more time , better in 5 years , will drink well for a further 5-10 — a year ago
