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
