Community Tasting Notes 4

  June 8, 2023 - After a tired and less than good anomalous bottle in May this year, it was nice to open one which performed in-line with my expectations. Lightish yellow at the start, mid yellow (like the tired bottle) at the end, this bottle, like the 2018 version had recently, spelled Mosel. Still somewhat reductive throughout the 2 hour sitting, there was a floral note, with candied melon, grass and some pungency on the nose. Though quite simple, the light bodied palate was very refreshing, bright, energetic and persuasive. This very good plus wine offered more than the sum of its parts and is ready for drinking.

  October 29, 2022 - 18 months later, this is still in a primary phase. The yellowish colour hasn't changed and the nose and palate still clearly reveal the Mosel. The first few glasses have green apples and white fruits in abundance, but later on I am also getting something like quince and blossom. Sponti is evident for the first hour, but then it retreats. The first couple of times it passes the lips the wine seems surprisingly shrill for the vintage, but then the fruit gets its hand on the volume knob and keeps turning it in clockwise direction. This Brauneberger has a very intense mouth for a village wine and is very good plus again. On the balance of probabilities, thorough satisfaction through to 2030 seems achievable.

  April 30, 2021 - Fifteen months since my first note and this village riesling has opened-up and drinking very nicely over two days. It couldn't be confused with a wine from the Rhine now, as the Mosel character is evident with every sniff and sip. A yellowish colour, this shows a very generous volume of slate, green apples and white fruits in a delcious combination. And the length is impressive. At 11.5% it is closer to a trocken, though not labelled as such, than it is to a feinherb and the local yeasts add to the complexity. Easy very good plus and with plenty in the tank.

  January 14, 2020 - Had over two days. Yellowish colour, but it was still a little tight on the 1st day. The 2nd day showed floral, menthol, pineapple and exotic fruits on the nose - closer in style to a Rheingau than a generic Mosel. Creamy, generous and substantial mouth, with very good length. A very well endowed Mosel with ample citrus-like acids building at the finish. Again, the palate would have made me think more of the Rhine. Very good plus at least at this early stage.
