| VM 90 (5/2022): Issuing from vines in the Gross Schock sector with the nickname Ternes (which now appears in fine print on the label), the 2020 Riesling Krettnacher Euchariusberg Spätlese A.P. #14 leads with a faintly musky and prickly nose suggestive of lemon peel, sage and cassis leaf. I suspect these traits might point to a bit of botrytis having been involved, though also to a temporarily slightly reduced state. Ripe peach with peach kernel and huckleberry piquancy inform a palpably dense midpalate, and the combination of piquant elements, reprised prickle, and emerging stoniness lends the sustained finish a certain austerity that one wouldn’t anticipate from a residually sweet Spätlese. But then, apropos of “sweet,” this harbors around the same residual sugar as one of the Webers’ Kabinetts of this vintage, and, if anything, it comes off as slightly drier. It definitely deserves revisiting (especially considering the sensational performance of the vintage 2019 installment), and I wouldn’t invest too much confidence in my tentative quantified prognosis of its aging potential. (Drink between 2023-2034). David Schildknecht. |

| VM 94 (5/2022): Sourced overwhelmingly from a parcel near the core/original Herrenberg (owned by Kesselstatt) whose nickname “Palm” now appears on the label in tiny print, the 2020 Riesling Niedermenniger Herrenberg Kabinett feinherb A.P. #3 offers a memorably fragrant as well as succulent and scintillatingly bright performance transparent to musky floral, wet stone and shimmeringly crystalline nuances. The feel is polished, and the sense of midpalate lift is reflective of the wine’s mere 8.5% alcohol, which should in no way be interpreted as pointing to prominent sweetness – nor, for that matter, to analytically high residual sugar – because here the sense of sweetness is quite restrained. Bittersweet richness akin to almond and white peach close to the pit lends a low-toned depth to complement the wine’s tingling brightness on a finish of superb persistence. (Drink between 2021-2040).

| WA 91 (7/2020): On a forceful nose and waxy palate, apple and grapefruit are garlanded in pungent, shrubby herbs as well as piquantly marked by their peels and seeds. A glossy feel and an underlying sense of midpalate density are combined with a relatively opaque overall impression when compared with the most expressive wines in the present collection. But the finish is invigoratingly zesty, satisfyingly refreshing and impressively gripping, if not (for now, at least) notably transparent to nuance. This originates from the same old, ungrafted vines in the Zuckerberg sector that supplied 2017’s A.P. #4, though in this instance additional juice was provided by another nearby parcel. I may well have a blind spot to the virtues emanating from this fruit, because – without my having had time to think about this while I was tasting – for the second vintage running, my assessment falls far short of the Webers’ (or that of some other critics as well), who consider this one of their finest wines of the vintage. (Drink between 2020-2032). David Schildknecht. |

| WA 95 (8/2020): From a parcel with old, ungrafted vines, the 2019 Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese feinherb #4 Onkel Peter opens with a clear, delicate and floral bouquet of finely weathered slate and perfectly ripe, healthy white seed fruits. Intense and refined on the palate, this is a generous, juicy, sweet but also complex and sustainable Spätlese with a firm structure and a long, refined and salty finish. This is not a Spätlese to drink young but one to cellar for at least 5-10 years. The aging potential should be enormous here. 9.5% alcohol. |

VM 93 (5/2022): The 2020 Riesling Niedermenniger Herrenberg Spätlese feinherb A.P. #4 issues from old, ungrafted vines in the parcel with the nickname Onkel Peter (which now appears in tiny print on the label), located in the Zuckerberg sector of the Herrenberg Einzellage. An enticing floral and green herbal mélange greets the nose, along with notes of white peach and grapefruit that subsequently serve for succulence, tang and brightness on a buoyant and polished palate. Peony and carnation deliver further, billowing inner-mouth appeal. Hints of green wood and peach kernel piquancy stimulate while being moderated by cooling green herbal infusion and animatingly juicy grapefruit on an impressively lingering finish. Look for this to preserve its complexity over time while projecting an even greater sense of completeness and more distinct composite personality. Drink between 2021-2034. David Schildknecht. |
