Brauneberger Juffer 'HL' Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Nose is elegant. Has some age. Really deep. Maybe grapefruit rind. That old Riesling complexity. Wow. Gorgeous.
Palate is fresh. Deep. Very good. A hint of yellow grapefruit but more just this sense of amazing depth. Excellent acidity. So good.

Wow cool petrol nose, just a touch of sweetness and spice. Strangely, feels like I’m still sensing some so2..

Gorgeous wine. Nose barely starting to show some secondary notes with a hint of petrol. Lime zest as well. Very sauvage. Body odor but in the best possible way. Feral. Post coitus. Slatey and mineral. But so much more to come as this needs air. So juicy and round but with amazing delineation and purity. Sapid and nimble with apple and apricot on the palate and stunning purity. Really elegant and just so beautiful. Just entering its window but no rush. Awesome acids and so so electric. Brilliant wine.

I like this in smaller sips, spread out over time. Complexity and nuance that need some focus to check-in. And a prick of sweet that gets you satiated pretty quick. Needs a few days to shine, but it gets there. Begins with racy, dank diesel, smoked lemons, dill pickle, cracked black pepper flakes suspended in honey. Ends with salty mineral laden finger limes and sweet starfruit. Best enjoyed with patience, over a week.
