Kruger-Rumpf
Münsterer Dautenpflänzer Spätlese Riesling
Nahe, Germany
Killer Nahe spätlese Riesling. Rich, complex, and concentrated, yet remains bright and refreshing. Nose of ripe lime, ripe apricot and mango, clean, wet slate minerality, ginger, some petrol funk, a bit of cherry blossom and beeswax, and some ever-so-subtle Thai basil freshness. The palate shows such pure minerality and fruit, like clean, slate-y nectarine juice, plus a touch of the ginger, beeswax, and Thai basil character that shows up in the nose. Intense, juicy acidity, with a perfect amount of RS. It certainly makes its presence known but not cloying whatsoever. Medium (-) body with great glycerine texture. Kruger-Rumpf wines are always so great, one of my favorite producers in the Nahe. Screams for a nice cheese plate. Would love to try some with some more age on it, I can tell this certainly could develop quite interestingly.
