Trarbacher Huhnerberg Spätlese* trocken Mosel Riesling 2020

Wow. An insane wine.

Nose: sick elegant spice. Almost elegantly oily.

Palate: so dense. Candied pink grapefruit. Mineral. Expansive. Long. Saline. Juicy. Clingy.

Too sweet for me, but liked the Petrol on the nose and palate. Similar to previous note but less acidity. — 6 months ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Mosel Riesling 2023

What a wonderful wine! The nose is a bit muted and not as expressive as some Kabinett bottlings from the same producer that I had recently. It's also very young. Lemon juice, pineapple, fresh apple, a bit of a petroly thing, too. The nose is full of restraint and rather delicate. The palate is model of balance. Residual sugars are clearly present but the acid backbone is so powerful that what remains in the end is a tangy, very fresh note which leads you to reach for the glass immediately to take another sip. Apple, pineapple and lemon notes all along, a bit of an oily, sirupy texture in the mid palate, some mild grip in the rear and a very lovely zesty touch all over the finish which makes for a great tasting experience. This is superb! — 2 months ago

Krettnacher Altenberg Spätlese Trocken Riesling 2023

Solid dry Mosel Spatlese Riesling. Balanced citrus, slate, and petrol aromas. Heavy mouth feel. Not as complex as others I've had recently, but I'm biased having sampled many reserve and Alsatian grand crus. — 5 months ago

Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken Riesling 2019

Deep straw in the glass. Nose is buzzing with electric orchard fruit and honeycomb. Ripe citrus, golden apple, and faint tropics on the palate. White tea and honey. Super dry at 13%. Killer. — 2 months ago

Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese Riesling 2022

2022. Eminently delicious and undeniably essential. Now. Sure, you can, and should, age a few bottles but this screams spring/semi-warm weather, picnic/appetizers wine. Great, consistent producer. 2.21.26. — 3 months ago

Needed 30 minutes but what it really needed is 24 hours and it’s getting that. Will report back later. Ahh yeah. 24 hours later this is stunning. Elegant and aristocratic. The sheer class of this is so impressive. Nose has lime zest, vanilla extract, and palate has that 10% opulence hit that just soars into the jagged juicy edges of the finish. 9.5 to 9.7 overnight. Genius. — 4 months ago
