Tasting evening with our WSET 2 group and Lukas Wiegman who brought all the wines

• 2017 Devil's Corner Riesling 92 Points

  Australia, Tasmania, Northern Tasmania

  [Tasted blind] - Misstook it for a Wachau Smaragd from 2017, but quite impressed with my first Tasmanian Riesling. On the nose typical riesling, not too much fruit, a bit of yellow apple, apricot. Riper on the palate. Long finish, high acidity

  Germany, Rheinhessen

  [Tasted blind] - Thought it was a young Alsace village riesling wine. Extreme expressive on the nose (roses, apple sauce). Softer on the palate (yellow apple). Long ripe grapefruit finish

• 2018 Weingut Schätzel Niersteiner Ölberg Riesling Großes Gewächs 92 Points

  Germany, Rheinhessen

  [Tasted blind] - Correctly identified as a 2018 Mosel Riesling. As 2018 was a warm vintage, already quite developed. On the nose petrol, soft ripe citrus, pear, slate, minerality, almost a bit strawberry sweets. Very high acidity

• 2016 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Ried Loibenberg 93 Points

  Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau

  [Tasted blind] Not identified as a Wachau Smaragd because the nose was quite shy at the beginning (very different from the 2018 from the same producer and vineyard I tasted 6 months ago). Pear, ripe apple, apricot, peach, stones. High acidity. Wine #4 out of 10 for me

• 1985 Weingut Robert Zimmer Wawerner Goldberg Riesling

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  After 35 years still a great structure and very interesting on the nose and palate, certainly still alive and developed (although I don’t dare to say it was extremely enjoyable, more an experience). Earl Grey tea, honey, ‘trekdrop’
