This was absolutely singing on this particular night. Bright red berries, plums, spice box, and fine integrated tannins. This was pretty, harmonious, and absolutely delicious.

I have been thinking of my friends in the Saar a lot lately, but none more than Lars Carlberg and the father and son duo Erich and Johannes Weber. The frost damage there has been significant these last few days and they are left picking up the pieces of what was looking like a very promising vintage. There is still plenty of time to make special wines in 2024, but the quantities will be severely reduced and logistical complications will surely arise.
All that being said, I wanted to open something special and spend the evening enjoying the wine and thinking happy thoughts of my friends. What better wine than one of the truly signature wines from their lineup, Mutter Anna. Especially after our incredible vertical tasting in January with David Schildknecht of this bottling with wines straight from his own collection, this was a wine that frankly I needed to sit with and enjoy.
This was everything that I hoped it would be and more. Classic Mutter Anna with notes of crushed seashells, smoke, and lime zest on a palate that was so salty that it was like licking rock. The purity was insane, like mineral water that was infused with ginger, apple skins, and fresh herbs. This was both delicate and emotionally deep and soulful. The fresh acidity was so resolved and integrated that the wine was able to stay unbelievably clear and transparent. The finish though, that finish, it was lingering and contemplative with filigreed nuances of lime salt that coated the palate in the most satisfying way. A wow wine, but not in its power or energy, but rather in its thoughtfulness, beauty, and honesty.

Similar note as my previous bottle, I need to keep my hands off of these and try to save some! So good.
