2020 Lukas Hammelmann Riesling Zeiskamer Klostergarten Kabinett

Let's "Slow Decant" this German kabinett for two weeks

DAY 1
👃A definite attention grabber with apples, oranges, pears, smoke, minerals, white florals and mint. Whoa!
👅Loaded but never weighty. The sweet fruit is also rich and tangy. Limes and oranges. Good acidity and a gracious midpalate. A total joy to drink

Let the remaining wine Slow Decant in my refrigerator for two weeks

DAY 14
👃Rocky minerals dominate and are complemented by white florals, ripe orange/ apples. A touch of musk. Lots going on🙌
👅Sweet fruit like apples, li mes, and oranges with minerals. Slightly creamy. Very solid midpalate and proper kabinett sweetness

This Klostergarten Kabinett is great now and it's going to be greater as it should reward lots of cellar time👍

Every bottle of Lukas Hammelmann wine that I open impresses me greatly. He is making wines that deserve your attention. He has mine👏

A rosé but as far from a simple rosé as it gets.
Fresh, so fresh, with juicy underripe strawberries, a touch of cream, some wet moss and a herby whiff.
Great purity & flow on the palate. Juicy, fresh, pure. This is truly something different l! — 3 years ago

First wine I ever tasted from Lukas van Loggerenberg and it is really a textbook SA Chenin. Solid length and complexity - nice surprise - only 2 barrels made. — 6 years ago

Medium ruby . Touch of blackberry and ripe dark fruits , then black pepper , spice and granite . Quite deep and richer fruit , blackberry , dark cherry , touch of bacon fat , fills out nicely on the palate. Raspy tannins , good acidity . Pretty good length. Balanced alcohol . Again needs more time , better in 5 years , will drink well for a further 5-10 — 3 years ago

My, is this gorgeous. Reads very much like a Chinon on the nose and makes an excellent case for the variety in Stellenbosch. But as intellectually satisfying as it is, it’s a sheer pleasure to drink. — 6 years ago

A very nice, slightly oakey Zinfandel that I obtained from a leftover tasting at Lukas. It's overpriced, though, at $30. It should be outlived around $20. — 7 years ago

My first bottle I tasted by Lukas was meh for me at the time a few years ago. Everything I’ve tasted since has been stunning. This is the beauty of tasting and studying — 3 years ago

I’m not sure what makes me say this, but this tastes like a ‘modern’ take on Riesling. Dry, fragrant, has many of the classic notes, but yet somehow updated. Tasty and well done. — 4 years ago

A nice Syrah for what we paid ($15), but it's not worth $30 a bottle (which is what Lukas Is charging). — 7 years ago
