  Limey sweetness - not as much petrol as the 2022 Gisela but much more acid bite and lift. Yum, will be a keeper.

  This bottle was electric. Outstanding Riesling with piercing acidity and layers or fruit.

  柠檬奶油挞、白桃、熟得恰到好处的苹果和一点点脆梨，迷人的香荚兰和充满高级感的新鲜香草，如云雾般弥漫开来，带着矿物粉屑的花香，混合着流畅的奶油，平和而优雅，晃杯时分，鲜奶油伴随着一些橘子汁的味道跳跃起来。口感集中紧致，如集束一般，纯净、平和而悠长，平缓地抒情着，带着淡淡的咸味，酸度先是潜行，随后慢慢浮现，在后口腔激起生津。果味成熟、饱满、精致而活跃，好像被纯白的光芒笼罩一般，白桃、葡萄柚、苹果、白杏等等，带着隐约的白花香，在口中留下一片光滑，还带有些许香草、淡奶油和春初绿茶的鲜爽，收尾有些成熟的杏子、梨子和柑橘味，矿物感萦绕，收尾较长。
  醒酒2-3小时后，整体会更加舒展，后段的矿物感更为明显。
  
  嗅觉上冰清玉洁，颇为内敛，带鲜奶和奶油香（类似一点炼乳？），收尾有些白巧克力饼干碎、石灰和柠檬酸带来的干燥收紧感。口感较之前一天更为张扬有力，带着些许棱角感的矿物感自始自终延伸，支撑起了整体结构，充沛的桃子、苹果、柠檬、葡萄柚、布林、油柑等果味从前到后有力穿行，力量感和细腻并存——力与美，周遭带着光滑的酥麻感，随后出现一些干燥感，后段一些花蜜、柠檬凝乳、桔红、新鲜茴香接续着，偶尔冒出一缕白花香，收尾较长，略带复合香料味。比2018年的更为饱满复杂，更是一款杰作。96/100

  I was looking forward to this bottle as this is a great producer of German riesling. Falkenstein features bright wines with snappy fresh acidity. The 2019 vintage proved to be a great vintage in Germany as the wines have beautiful fresh fruit that is not overbearing. There is an outstanding balance, and the wines are full of flavor in the mid-palate. This combination of a great producer and a great young vintage had me excited to try this riesling wine.
  
  I opened the bottle and I poured two glasses with Vinloq using the preservation gas. The wine was good, but it was somewhat “closed” in that the flavors were not expressing themselves fully. There were the usual flavors of apple, pears, and lime with some stony minerality. The wine was good, but I put it in my refrigerator with the plan of revisiting it after some “Vinloq time.” *88pts on day 1
  
  I returned to the bottle to check-in after eight days. The time under preservation gas had allowed the wine to blossom. On this night, the wine was beautiful, precise, and even profound. The wine was singing with clear white peach, apple, citrus, lime, and pear flavors. Herbal notes and minerality complemented the fruit, which was like tasting crushed stones. The salinity and acidity on the finish made this so delicious that it kept drawing me back for another drink. This bottle was as good as any young Kabinett riesling I have had. This wine will likely beautifully age if put away in a cellar, but it is irresistible with Vinloq right now. *96pts on day 9
