2019 Wittmann Riesling Trocken

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, June 6, 2021 - -- cracked and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over approx. one week --

NOSE: strong petrol on Day 1; by Day 3 the petrol was gone, giving way to fairly intense tropical fruits. Some noticeable oxidation about one week in.

BODY: medium-light to medium bodied; pale green-yellow color.

TASTE: intense acidity; strong saline/umami character on Days 1 and 3, but not beyond; very fruity --- enough to make me wonder if this isn't completely dry (although it is labelled at 12.0% alc.); Incredible QPR at $20; have already purchased more of this vintage, and now I'm left wondering if this wine is always excellent. Gut impression score: 90 - 92. Drink Now and over the next 10 years.
