| 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): Smoky black tea, cinnamon spice, and candied lemon rind in the nose of Prum’s 2010 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese lead to a palpably dense, chewy yet glycerin-rich palate of spicy intensity and intriguing pungency but lacking the levity, clarity, or succulence that characterizes other wines in the present collection (and in particular the corresponding Spatlese). As this takes on air, it continues to prickle and tingle both aromatically and on the palate in a way that confirms the impression of more significant and marginally less pure as well as less subtle botrytis than found in most of its siblings. Still, this is a strong-finishing Auslese that I suspect harbors the multi-decade potential one anticipates from its genre at this address. And indeed, if it weren’t for the prestigious address, my slight reservations might seem quibbles. |

| WA 93 (2/2012): A Prum 2010 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese A.P. #17 allies ennobled richness of vanilla- and honey-tinged apple and alluring creaminess of texture to juicy vivacity of citrus; low alcohol levity; and transparency to nuances of honeysuckle and heliotrope perfume, crushed stone and brown spices. The palpably high extract here and hint of chewy fruit skin do not detract from an overriding sense of polish and buoyancy. While its at once soothing and stimulating long finish is ravishingly long, it will take time for this Auslese to reveal what is probably an advantage in nascent, nuanced complexity vis-a-vis the corresponding Bernkasteler. Time will as always be on its side, and I would not recommend seriously tucking into bottles of this for at least 12-15 years, with expectations for it to hit age 40 acting youthful. (I did not have opportunity to taste a corresponding auction cuvee, A.P. #27.) |

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. |
