Community Tasting Note

• Thomas D. wrote: 93 points

  January 7, 2024 - Very good other tasting notes, super high ratings at Falstaff, what should I say?
  
  First of all, this wine was now open for several weeks, vacuum, in my fridge. It still has a great and nearly equal to the first day (!!) taste.
  Wow!
  
  Bought in „Weinhaus Trier“, one of my favorite places in Trier.
  
  I like the mineralic and earthy notes, the structure and the oiliness, flintstone and fungus, chalk and the ultralong finish - all hint a wine made for decades and a real giant. Twenty years ago I would have killed for such a wine.
  
  But…
  This is 2024, this world is having many problems, the wine is to earnest…let’s compare (of course I did that already, but not yet a direct competition)
  
  Dr. Loosen, also 2021, also GG (Grosses Gewächs, Grand Cru) this time „Lösnicher Försterlay“:
  Same Glas (Riedel Chianti) but more fun, speed, sex nice acidity and fruits, still this aristocratic behavior…
  
  Falstaff says that Foersterlay is one point lower, I rate it 2 points higher at 95, as it is the perfect wine for this time.
