2012 German Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)(Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese #19 #23) ($21.00) There were six fuder of U-W Spät, and so our task became to see which would blend well together for our core-list wine, and which (if any) were distinctive enough to warrant separate bottling. You’d have enjoyed being with us! So, there are two lots of this wine: the first unites fuders #23 and #19 – #23 was as detailed as needlework, darkly slatey, black-walnut, licorice, almost a Nigl in its carbonized minerality. It combined well with #19, which was fleshier and more juicy. The subsequent lot will combine fuders #20 and #10, and will be a little stonier. But the two are more alike than different, and no one will be shocked.
