Dinner with Philip and Jay at Lukas. Big red delicious tones. — a year ago
lychee and red berries — a year ago
Medium ruby centre , quite wide light pink ruby rim . Quite expressive nose with blackcurrant , iris , roasted red peppers and earthy tobacco notes . On the palate quite rounded and juicy, medium bodied , with those blackcurrant , blackberry and earthy , dark chocolate notes coming through , quite fresh acidity, fine but very slightly bitter tannins and balanced alcohol. Medium minus length with tobacco tinged finish . Drink now and over the next 5-7 years to preserve as much of fresh fruit character as possible . — 4 months ago

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👏

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 — 2 years ago
