2011 Müller-Catoir Mußbach Riesling Kabinett 89 Points

Tasting, brief note. This was a clear step us for me vs the Diel 2011 Kabinett just tasting. Slightly sweet, seemingly more restrained and better textured with good concentration.

2012 Hexamer Schlossböckelheimer In den Felsen Riesling Feinherb "Porphyr"
Germany, Nahe
Tasting, brief note. Apple and lemon character that is both very mineral and acid driven. Direct, linear and interesting, I'd expect this to be better in a few years, even if not necessarily really fun today.

Germany, Pfalz
Tasting, brief note. Not showing particularly great this afternoon, perhaps this just needs more time to integrate. Bitter and off-balance on finish.
