String and earthy with dark fruit. The tonella is better of course but this is still good. Drinking young. — 4 years ago

Thörnicher Ritsch "Gacken Oben" Kabinett Feinherb Mosel Riesling 2019

Nose has powder sugar dusted lemon torte, wet slate, dry lemon zest, powdered sugar and lime peel.

Palate has beautiful lemon curd pastry, lime zest, under-baked pastry dough, ethereal sugar from angels lightly dancing but never touching the ground, medium acidity in perfect balance.

Might be the best Feinherb ever...? I cannot wait for this to evolve in the coming days.

Decanted 4H at time of notes, more time appreciated; notes to be updated on day three.

144 Hour Update: Nose has orange zest, lime zest, powder sugar dusted flakey pastry, peach skin and dehydrated orange. Palate has lime peel, lemon flesh, ripe nectarine, confectioners sugar, nectarine flesh and faint moist sandstone notes. A beautiful wine, but now score improvement. Revisit 2039-44, minimum.

So so….30+ minute decant. Dark red color. Seemed like a lot of alcohol. No real fruit or distinctive characteristics. Was fine. — 4 years ago
