2023 Dr. Hermann, Riesling Auslese "Würzgarten"

Denne superbe Auslese høstet ved knap 100 Öchsle fra 80 år gamle stokke i den røde skifer i Würzgarten, er endnu en af Hermann's trylledrikke i 2023. Ualmindelig animerende i næsen med ananas, passionsfrugt, honning, skifertoner, æblegrød og citrus, viser den i smagen vidunderlig balance mellem stor 2023 sødme og så årgangens eksemplarisk levende syre. Righoldig og tekstureret i smagen har den samtidig vidunderlig livlighed og spændstighed i et smukt balanceret udtryk. FAS: 6 (-2060+) ****+

95 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate: "The 2023 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese is from 60- to 80-year-old, ungrafted vines from red slate and rhyolite soils, and it opens with an intense, coolish and smoky bouquet of crushed red stones, lemon zest and herbal notes. It's already very stimulating on the nose! The wine is round, smooth and lush on the palate, generous in its texture but light in its soul and body weight. There is a lot of extract here, but this textural Würzgarten Auslese remains playful and stimulating saline and savory. This is a rich and mouth-filling yet delicate and stimulating Auslese. "
