    It shows better acidity and focus as it airs out. It's off-dry, but the acidity is a perfect counter. Pretty delicious, too, a peachy finish. It still leans more to young, that low fill even so, not yet middle aged? Debatable. But prime time. A great performance.

    And they talk to me, keeping me in the loop. So, there's that.

    $27 or so back then

  3. This FK Schmitt 1998 Auslese is on the darker side, but drinks far younger than it looks. Concentrated, with a bit of caramelized sugar, it's not as ripe or as youthful as the '98 Christoffel 1★ I had recently, but it might be more focused. Still prime time, if mature. The apricot-tinged finish is hard to resist. This drinks well, a sophisticated entrant into the Riesling sweepstakes.

    More on Christoffel later.

    $20-ish? Don't know now. 7.5% alc

  5. Why Eva Fricke Is a Symbol of the New German Wine

    Few wine regions in Europe can claim a history as rich and storied as that of Germany’s Rheingau. A commercial center of the global wine trade since at least the 12th century, it achieved international celebrity during the 19th century, when its top wines graced the tabl…

    It's my own last bottle, so there's that, but also--Philipp Catoir told me they haven't produced a Beerenauslese (typically, 160-200 g/l) in "quite some time" due to "changing weather conditions," i.e., too warm or heavy rain at the wrong time re: creating botrytis. (They WILL produce two Auslesen currently, he said.)

    We might be nearing the end of the road for B.A. Let's hope not.

    This 1999 Pfalz Riesling Beerenauslese was just stunning. But then, I expect these to be immortal, more or less, and exceptional. Dense and seeming very concentrated, it had plenty of depth, but impressive balance too, the acidity easily keeping this fresh and lively. It had just a hint of racy! Of course, it's delicious.

    A super performance overall, but it's actually a sad tale, wine peeps.

  13. Können wir mal kurz innehalten und darüber sprechen, was für ein weirdes Wort "Riesling" ist?

    Ich meine: Riesen sind ja eher groß, das ist quasi ihr Markenkern. Und die Endung "-ling" will uns sagen, dass etwas eher klein ist.

    Was soll das also bitte sein?!

  17. This Riesling "GB" was in perky form, easygoing at a young age. It's light on its feet, projecting grace and delicate persistence,dancing across the tongue. It's dry but not stern, and perfectly balanced. It's not a landmark bolt from the blue, but it's easy to like

    N.B. There's "GB" at the bottom, the producer's own choice for this Mosel Riesling, in place of "G.G." (Grosses Gewächs) which designation this producer couldn't use in 2021

    12% alc, about $40 these days.

  19. This dessert Riesling desperately needed aging, which has brought it into good balance. Serious stickies do better with aging!

    Once just unctuous, it's now a complete package with integration of sugar and fruit. In its opulent style, it doesn't have much zing, but it's fresh, coats the palate, resists overkill and is insanely delicious. It's tinged with peaches, led by enticing aromatics.

    7.8% alc. It's pricey as a half bottle (over $60, but new years are 500ml). #wine #fingerlakes #riesling

    The acidity makes this perky, easily giving this elegant wine focus and support, and cutting the hint of sugar at the end. Winner, again. $21 when I bought it. New vintages around $30-ish. 8% alc.

    Once more into the breach...haven't had one of my Ürziger Würzgarten '01 Spätleses in awhile. But...Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

    It never fails to prove it can age effortlessly. I keep fearing it will get old, but it seems perfect, crisp, fresh, shockingly youthful. Waiting for Godot? Waiting for UrzWurz? Have a seat. Relax.This may take awhile. Honestly, tell me it's under 10 years old blind, I won't be surprised.

    The aromatics steadily improved, and it became a fine food wine, more mature these days, but very much still prime time, and...maybe even somewhat improved, more interesting compared to release. It is no longer as straightforward.
