Hofgut Falkenstein "AP Nr 3 Palm" Niedermenniger Herrenberg Spatlese Feinherb Riesling 2023

Mosel Fine Wines : 95 Points

(6/1/2024) The 2023er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb Palm comes from different small parcels on the western side of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar. This wine offers a stunning and not overly loud nose made of mirabelle, citrusy fruits, smoke, herbs, and a hint of bergamot. It is beautifully subtle and finely chiseled on the palate, where the ripe zesty side is beautifully wrapped into creamy elements. The finish is superbly focused and dry-tasting more than off-dry. What a beauty! Drink: 2033-2048.

(10/17/2024) The 2023 Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese feinherb Palm (AP 3) opens with a clear and elegant nose with aromas of tropical fruit (such as mango) intertwined with crushed slate and iodine notes. Full-bodied and savory, with almost drying phenols at this stage due to the later harvest, this is a full-bodied and grippy Riesling that needs some years to refine. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024. Drink Date: 2029 - 2050.
