Pundericher Marienburg Fahrlay Grosses Gewachs  |
$49 |

| WA 89 (4/2012): The Busch 2010 Pundericher Marienburg Fahrlay Riesling Grosses Gewachs – while no less full-bodied than its immediate Grosses Gewachs siblings – offers a metaphorically cool performance with its evocations of apple, mint and celery seed. While firm in texture and rather spare in its tart apple skin-tinged, wet stone-lined finish, this retains a very satisfying sense of primary juiciness. Perhaps its 13.5% alcohol – while generating neither heat nor roughness – is working against this really opening-up in its finish; or perhaps more post-bottling time is required. A bottle that had been open for more than two days showed further – smoky, saline – mineral nuances, confirming that this Riesling might be introverted but is no less intriguing for that. I would however want to revisit it in another year or so before hazarding prognostications about its further evolution. |

vom Roten Schiefer Riesling Trocken |

| WA 90 (4/2012): As in several recent vintages just above the limit of residual sugar for legal Trockenheit but plenty dry-tasting, Busch’s 2010 Riesling Vom Roten Schiefer displays ripe nectarine and peach, making for a more welcoming and succulent performance than that of the corresponding grey slate bottling. Not only crushed stone but also a red slate-typical hint of smokiness – along with a brown spices and a nip of pepper-cress – inflects an invigorating, satisfyingly juicy and persistent finish, setting up a genuinely vibratory sense of interactivity. This should prove delectably versatile over at least the next half dozen years. |

Winninger Uhlen-R Roth Lay Riesling Auslese Signs of Old Seepage |
$109 |

| VM 93 (1/2012): Rich aromas of tropical fruit, persimmon and smoky spices on a velvety bed of brown spice botrytis. Concentrated apricot and compressed minerality animate the palate. With a rich, dense, complex finish more like a Pfalz wine, this auslese is nonetheless impressive. Joel B. Payne. |

| WA 91 (2/2012): Emphasizing the bitter side of the vanilla bean as well as toasted nuts and cyanic apple pit, the Prum 2010 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese A.P. #14 thereby generates a fascinating contrast with its apple jelly and honey richness. Alkaline and wet stone notes - beginning already in the nose - enhance that contrast. Nut oils, honey and apple reprise in a lusciously lingering finish. Less charming, refreshing, exuberant, or focused in finish than the corresponding Graacher, this Wehlener will almost certainly need a longer time to show its true potential; but one can rest assured based on one of Germany’s most certifiable track-records that at least a quarter century of pleasure is in the offing here. (I did not have opportunity to taste the corresponding auction cuvee, A.P. #26.) |

Wintricher Geierslay Riesling Sur Lie |

| WA 92 (12/2011): From old vines in an extraordinary site about which I have written in detail in issue 192, Steinmetz’s June-bottled, tank-raised 2010 Wintricher Geierslay Riesling Spatlese Sur Lie boasts a mere 10% alcohol thanks to having left behind 28 grams of residual sugar, which was around ten less than I guessed (and I’m generally pretty good at guessing these things), such is the efficacy of 11 grams of acidity not to mention almost freakishly high extract. But the performance one gets here seems utterly poised and naturally balanced rather than in any way extreme. A seeming suffusion of salt, iodine, shrimp shell reduction, peach kernel, and crushed stone mingles saliva-inducingly with fresh, juicily-refreshing lime, white grapefruit, and white peach on a subtly silken palate, finishing with vibrantly intense mineral and fruit interactivity. This terrific value ought to perform well for at least another 12-15 years. Incidentally, Steinmetz plans to replant parts of the Geierslay that aren’t even in Riesling now with Nik Weis’s Schlangengraben vine selection. |
