By Terry Theise
(Loewen Laurentiuslay Riesling Spätlese) ($27.00) DO NOT MISS THIS WINE! The 2009 was one of the five best wines I offered from that vintage, and this was on the short-list for wine-of-the-vintage this year. It is that good. In fact it is so masterly I wonder that it’s still such a sleeper. It isn’t expensive. If it said “Wehlener Sonnenuhr” people would be talking about de-throning J.J. Prüm. The palate is on the dry side based on the buffering of gigantic extract. A massively fascinating fragrance, a witch’s brew of greens and yellows and pulsating slate; the palate is drenched and charged with density and sheer flavor, with the electric charge of great wine. The swell and undertow and length are mind-bending. I consider this a monument to Riesling at its most resplendent, profound and beautiful.

Seemed a bit round and and short. After an hour, it slimmed down and brightened. With more bottle age, I expect this will gain focus, precision and intrigue.

Lemony and sweet with balancing acidity. No sign of fading, and no reason to think this won’t continue to age for some time to come. Very nice qpr and went well with spicy Indian food.

Rich and sweet, more like an Auslese than a Spätlese. Mouth filling richness with a complex finish. Recommended.
