2019 Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese #14
8/23/2023 - byzero Likes this wine: 93 Points
"Slow Decanting" this young spatlese over a couple of weeks with the Vinloq System
DAY 1
👃Careens from the chilled bottle with limes and apples plus minerality & petrol
👅Sweetness leads. Fruit, florals and acidity follow. The minerality is there for the finish. The acidity is fresh and palate cleaning. Lip smacking, if you will
The remaining wine was Slow Decanted for 18 days in my refrigerator
DAY 18
This hasn't budged during the interim. Apple, peach, pear with lime on the finish. The standard hallmarks of Falkenstein are present with the extra midpalate density seen in so many 2019 German riesling. Classy. Fresh. Clean
This 2019 is just getting started. It is delicious in this youthful, energetic state. I cannot wait to see where this goes as it develops over time in the cellar🥂

2020 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Grünlack Spätlese
7/11/2023 - byzero Likes this wine: 96 Points
Served this with the Vinloq System and followed it over 13 Days
DAY 1
👃This was bold and definitive on the first pour before it had even warmed. Excellent slatey minerality with lime, peach and white pepper
👅A totally stuffed midpalate of juicy fruit, nicely complemented with both herbals and white florals. There is significant sweetness (and baby fat) but it retains crispness and great minerality
The remaining wine was "Slow Decanted" and preserved with Vinloq nitrogen in my refrigerator
DAY 13
Spot on vs Day 1 with maybe some additional energy and fireworks.
What a stellar wine! The flavor profile here is delicious. The main elements are peach, apricot, citrus, minerality, herbals and honey. They last all the way through the lengthy finish.
It's a flavor explosion but the wine retains impressive precision and clarity
This 2020 should make from a long lived wine and will likely be fantastic at every stage🥂

2015 Ruppert-Leroy Champagne Brut Nature Fosse-Grely
7/1/2023 - byzero wrote: 93 Points
The Vinloq System was designed to be used on still wines only. However, sparkling wines are amazing
👅This is a great summer champagne and it combines crisp flavors with a touch of oxidation and solid minerality.
Honey crisp apple, even cider, and bruised apples are featured. Quite powerful personality. Lemon peel sweeps the palate clean on the finish.
Develops some creaminess as it warms
Solid bubbles👍🥂
