Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken Riesling

Compared to the last Becker dry Spatlese tasted, this was less inviting: a bit more mineral & stony, with none of the fruit flavors associated with Riesling to be found. Very chiseled & imagine needs time in bottle/ long decant. You can still taste the precision though.

A true trocken spätlese - virtually zero RS. Golden tropical fruit. Delicious.

A seriously mysterious wine - idiosyncratically traditional, traditionally idiosyncratic. Secondary and tertiary aromas shine, but there’s still plenty of fruit - apricot, nectarine. Smoke, Stone. Wow.

2015 electric. subtle fruit aromas of citrus and kiwi. Dense and a touch earthy on the palate. So long with peach skin and a hint of burnt sugar. Dry.

-A Singular Riesling-

Day 1
Poured with the Vinloq System
👃Whoa! Deep and rich with tropical fruit, apricot, light florals and petrol
👅Rocks and acid! That same honeyed tropical fruit, meyer’s lemon and orange blossom. Waxy. Totally dry. Even chalky. That sweet dessert wine nose on a trocken may make this divisive…But I LOVE it!❤️

Refrigerated with Vinloq Preservation Gas

Day 24
👃Totally beautiful and boldly wafts from the glass
👅 Honeyed tropical fruits like lychee, plus lemon. But there is that ACID 👍. The finish is dry, smoked rocks. So fruity and so dry! Unchanged from Day 1. And I still LOVE it!💕

Classic

Yes

Oil and meat. Tar lemon. Tennis ball. Challenges the palate in all the ways I love about Riesling. with @Ksandek Podbielski

Its gone a bit cookoo

Slick. Kumquat, honey and petrol. I thought this was beautiful with plenty of life ahead. Both consensus and my WWOTN.
