VM 95 (2/2016): Vivid straw-green. Almost shut down at first, this wine opens with aeration to offer delicate spice and honey aromas and multilayered flavors of stone fruits, lime and grapefruit. It is rich and spicy in typical Brand style, and finishes long, piquant and minerally, with a balsamic element and repeating grapefruit and lime notes. Much richer but less crystalline than the Sommerberg Eckberg, this bottling from Boxler offers another study in the diversity of Riesling expression in different terroirs. As it’s still very youthful and quite closed, I’d forget about it in the cellar for another 5 years and enjoy it for another 20 years after that. If you must try a bottle now, remember to decant this beauty at least an hour or two ahead. (Drink between 2020-2040). Ian D'Agata.
WA 94 (10/2015): The 2013 Riesling Grand Cru Brand K comes from the Kirchberg section, which was planted in 1946. Sometimes the grapes are used for the regular Brand, especially in warm vintages like 2009 when the Brand tends to be too rich. In cooler years such as 2013, Boxler picks, ferments and bottles the Kirchberg separately. In 2013, it was picked at the same time as the Sommerberg E, so 10 days later than the regular Brand. The wine is deep, rich, and intense on the nose and displays lemon flavors mixed with perfumed herbal/floral aromas. Full-bodied, very rich, and concentrated on the palate but full of vitality and tension, this very powerful and elegant Kirchberg reveals a compact structure but asks for a couple of years of bottle aging. |

| VM 93+ (2/2016): Medium yellow-gold. Aromas and flavors of orange rind, lemon custard, pear and cinnamon are complicated by vanilla and a hint of lemony botrytis. Tactile and light on its feet, with bright acidity giving focus to the gooseberry, tropical fruit and flint flavors. Finishes very long, with intense lemon and spice notes. About 15% of the berries were hit by noble rot. Lovely VT. Ian D'Agata. |
