J. B. Becker
Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese Riesling



A mammoth, chiseled beast of a wine that really needs extensive decanting and/or aging. Despite a modest decant, imagine am tasting a tease of its true potential.

So beautiful. Like being in an orchard in the fall. Molasses and ginger on the nose and the most vivid apple aromas- seeds and skins. Fairly dry, with an earthy character, very fine texture and ample body.

Hans Josef Becker makes classic, old-style Rheingau Rieslings that age forever...this '89 Spätlese was drying out a bit due to high amounts of botrytis but who cares? It was tits and ass with roast duck at Weinhaus/Hotel Zum Krug in Hattenheim!
