White
2021 Weingut Wagner von Wohlgemuthheim Gewürztraminer Isaac
89 points
Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
Popped and pured, drunk over two days. Quite rare to get a dry Gewürztraminer from the Mosel.
Clear, medium onion skin color. Unfiltered with lots of particles.
Clea, medium intense, developing nose. A bit oxidative/natural, muscat, floral notes.
On the palate quite dry, only 11,5% abv, medium acidity. Oxidative, orange zests, candied fruit, pepper, sesame, floral notes, chalk. Beautiful grip, medium length. Perfect wine with food. Makes fun alone, but with food it really blends in. Very interesting and beautiful. 88-89

Popped and poured, drunk over three days, tasted blind.
Clear, deep ruby color. Clean, medium intense, youthful nose. Deep, spicy, smoky, some underbrush and wet soil, quite special.

2009 Müller-Catoir Haardter Herzog Rieslaner Spätlese
92 points
Glass: Zalto Universal
Popped and poured, tasted blind on day one, drunk over three days.
Clear, deep golden color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose. Fresh, still some citrus, honey, spices, ripe stone fruit, floral. Quite massive.
On the palate it reveals that it is a massive Auslese. Sweet, dense, creamy, almost oily. But also with a racy acidity, that struggles with taming the sweetness. Lots of ripe fruit, honey, spices. Dense, deep, complex, massive, almost mouth coating, long, spicy, fruity-sweet finish. Drinks great now, but will survive at least another decade. 92
