April 5, 2013 - Fun-tas-tisch! Deutliches Statement, bringt alles mit plus eine demi-sel Butter, mit der das Fass 21 offenbar vorher von innen eingestrichen worden war.

2012 German Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)(Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese #21) ($23.00) These single-cask bottlings don’t get enough of your attention. Maybe if we called them “1-star” or put some fancy capsule on the bottle? For this wine is dramatically complex, refined and salty. *
