2022 Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese feinherb
5/5/2024 - HU wrote: 94 Points
I have yet to taste it. Mosel Fine Wines rates it 94 ( which I copied here ) and writes: "The 2022er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese Feinherb Palm (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from different small parcels on the western side of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar. Slightly reductive at first, this quickly opens up to reveal beautiful notes of vineyard peach, Conference pear, minty herbs, and stone fruits. The wine proves incredibly creamy and refined on the delicately smooth and beautifully refined palate. The finish is more focused as zesty elements come through. Aromatic and fruity flavors are wrapped into fine spices and herbal elements in the after-taste. Drink: 2027 - 2042."

2016 Château Cantemerle

A cautious 92. PnP, then drank over three nights. Dark red, medium body, quite acidic and tannic. On day 1, it felt a little flat, almost thin. Green peppers dominant. Best on day 2 and perhaps 3, to be enjoyed slowly and sip-by-sip. Spices, earth, some dark fruits emerging. My best guess is that this is too young to drink now. I have 5 more and will wait until 2027 or so, before opening the next one. I am hoping it deserves a higher grade then.

PnP, drank over three days. Best on day three. Earth, leather, dark berries. Way too young, though. Clearly tannic, even on day 3. It is enjoyable to drink now. But it seems much better to wait for at least another three years, if not more. It might deserve a better grade then.
