Alsheimer Spätburgunder 2016

Nose has diffuse florals, freshly cut cherry, pint of raspberries... initially this doesn't seem as fragrant/approachable as the 2015, likely more decant time is needed.

Palate has mashed raspberry/strawberry/blackberry, moist earth, wet granite, perfect (medium) acidity and a very long finish.

Looking ahead to this bottles evolution over the next 24hr as it seems lightly closed up tonight. Notes will be updated.

24hr Update: Nose is approaching the Pinot perfume qualities of the 2015, but lacking the body of that vintage.

I think I skipped the 16.

Probably ok IMO, but you-know-who will not like that skipping... 15 was more immediately approachable. We have one at the house and will do a side-by-side later this year.

Niersteiner Brückchen Kabinett Riesling 2013

Another Riesling from a few days ago. A Terry Theise selection from Rheinhessen. Had this with Indian food. Gorgeous with round feel on the palate but balanced beautifully with the acid. Ripe citrus fruit and stone fruit. Good clean finish. #terrytheise #rheinhessen #rieslingrules #withindianfood — 10 years ago

Very sweet but not too sweet. I had it before dinner so I think it would be better with dessert or cheese, etc. — 7 years ago

Rheinhessen Kabinett Scheurebe 2013

Mmmm....Scheurebe. Candied pink grapefruit, ripe pineapple, Rainier cherries, tangerine, white fig, lots of white flowers (especially elderflower and honeysuckle), white mullberry, red papaya. More Spätlese level ripeness here, but super delicious — 11 years ago

J2 Gau-Odernheimer Spätburgunder 2015

Reminiscent of good quality Chambolle with a touch more flesh and pliancy. This is stupid good for the price, when I’m old I’ll be bitching about how cheap this was back in the day. High toned, crunchy, deeply earthy and loaded with ripe red/black fruit. The finesse is there. Black cherry, wild strawberry, rhubarb compote, black tea, wildflowers, wet leaves, undergrowth, spice. Again, the elegance coupled with the perfume and harmony this carries really delivers. — 7 years ago
