Very, very good, but in direct comparison not quite on the same level of intensity as the Ürziger Würzgarten of the same vintage as well as sporting a touch of nutmeg - very nice, but not my preference.

Beautiful pale gold color. Pronounced aromas of petrol, marmalade. Slightly sweet. Flavors of honey, orange marmalade, pineapple. High acidity, low alcohol. Long finish.

Exactly as my note from last year, except I would add a touch of grapefruit and that I find it just a tad too sweet this time around. Definitely a lemonade of sorts, almost tastes like vitamin C. But I admit I can't stop sipping. Addictive.

Good with duck and hoisin sauce. Reads very sweet at first, but food tamed it. Pleasant viscosity, acid level and sweetness. Lingering apricot after notes. Perhaps a little sweet for my taste.

I find this an awesome solist, and the TN would like almost exactly like the one I wrote a few days ago for the 2017 Alfred Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese: ripe quince and apricot, lemon, a little less of the nettles than over there, residual sugar nicely balanced with citrusy acidity. The main difference is that this one here maintained its quality across all 3 days I spent on finishing the bottle.

Rating confirmed, comparative to the same wine of the next vintage as well as to the 2018 Ürziger Würzgarten.

German on the sweet side of Riesling not my favorite unless eating really hot spicy food.
