Winzerhof Thörle
Schlossberg Riesling
This sleeper GC in the Thorle lineup. Nose is a bit quiet today. Meyer lemon, minerals, salinity, so airy. Has much more to show aroma wise with air. Some pink grapefruit now. Gorgeous. Gaining aromatic depth by the minute. Wow, best young Schlossberg ever. It finally broke through to 9.5 territory. The finesse is what puts it over the top. So complete. Of course it’s mineral as all can be as is is Schlossberg but it’s so refined and long. Energetic and so sappy. This is wonderful. Concentrated and dense but so light on its feet. What a finish. Great structure suggests aging for a while. Maybe 10-15 years. Really, long, delineated finish. Superb. Nose is rocking now after 30 mins. Stunning spice and herbals. Wow that texture. This is stunning! 9.5 to 9.6.

Mar 9th, 2022Minerals excelsior!
N:Peaches and rockks, apricots, all just this side of ripe. Cantaloupe lurking in the background, lemons, straw.
P: Quince, citrus, nice acidity (lots), lip puckering with the minerals still present.
Delicious with pork sausages over rhubarb & chard.
Thanks@FassSelections

N: Grapefruit pith, citrus juice, white flowers, bleached rocks.
P: A salty grapefruit thrill ride on the rocks, mineral, soft, with a bit of spritz. Spritz dissipates with time.
Delicious!
