2021 Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett trocken 91 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
9.5% abv. AP 28. NOSE: serene and subtle, with high-pitched lime/chalk and caper salt. Very clean. Adjustments and air open up sensations of orange filet, lemon blossom, and white lilac. MOUTH: sheer, impacted with information, sinuous, uncommonly transparent, with waves of saline smashing on jagged rocks. Acidity is like a bloom of assassins' daggers. A drink is hyper-mouthwatering, lean, and zealously dry. Flavor/mass quotient is off the charts. It's a little unusual.
________
24 hours later, the shoe-lacing shows a bit more loosely. When I drink it immediately after feinherb or lieblich, it tastes like celery. I'm glad I could grab another bottle.
48 hours later, it's still servable, but all that time open gains it not. Weigh a barely diminished wine against 48 hours for urself.

2022 Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett feinherb 91 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
9.5% abv. AP 04. NOSE: rainwater meanders chirping lazy lightweight floral sensations; roses, limes, and sliced ginger bob in iced stone tea; with a curiously tender mix of citrus zest—orange, kumquat, pink lemon. (I could take over the world with a bath soap that smelled like this.) MOUTH: structure gripping with calcium, amused with lax strands of acidity, and weightless. There is no taste of sugar, really, or not until a pour rises above 63° F. The event insists on returning to a precisely earthy, appetizing bitterness, like something turned with a garden shovel in gravel. Pretty cool. Pretty unusual.
________
24 hours later, it's interesting to compare this to an otherwise similar MFR Estate Riesling. One tastes like a sketch of the other. This Weh. Sonnenuhr is differentiated by it's concentration, texture, and endurance, more than by its flavor/aroma and sugar/acid character. And it tasted better yesterday, barely.

2021 Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Veldenzer Elisenberg Riesling Kabinett 92 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
7.5% abv. AP 30. NOSE: utmost restraint in the expression of flamboyantly mature Riesling berries. There's a rakish pulse of ruptured blueberry in its core. It's a transparent matrix, surrounded with salt-marsh mead, stiff flowers, strawberry, milled seashell, and MOUTH: classical, with a lunge in the direction of mouthwatering salt and solar acidity. A roughly hewn front of primordial rock advances over earnest piles of diverse, ripe fruit—nothing dominates; not pineapple, not apple, not citrus, not apricot. Acidity here is determined to press the action forward. Sugar rises to the occasion, directing traffic, while preserving an articulated drinking experience. I want to sit with it for a day or two. For now: 92-93.
________
24 hours later, it's still good, but like most MFR wines I drink these days, it's best on day 1. No collapse; just, it's ready to go when it's open. It's already warmed up and ready to pitch.
