Note di degustazione
From 80 to 100-year-old vines (mainly in the Urglück parcel), the 2015 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben GG has a deep, pure, clear, intense and fascinatingly aromatic bouquet of small and spicy, thick-skinned yellow plums and peaches; there are also some smoky and flinty aromas from the red volcanic Würzgarten soils. On the palate, this is a super clear, vital and elegant Riesling in perfect balance. Tasting almost like a Nahe (Felsenberg) Riesling, its refined acidity and overall finesse is clearly Mosel. The finish is long, fresh, clear and aromatic, and reveals stimulating grip and tension. This is another great and age-worthy, dry Mosel cru that Riesling lovers should not miss.

The customary, spicy aroma of the Würzgarten is accompanied by some subtle herbal notes and ripe citrus fruit. Although reserved in the acidity department, the Würzgarten still manages a good balance between sweet and sour. If early harmony was the aim of the winemaker, he has achieved it. (MS)
This was quite yeasty when poured but quickly opened up. Stunning nose of wild strawberry, peach and spice. Still medium-bodied, but with some real old-vine intensity, then a dazzling finish in which all the spice returns Sep 2016, www.jamessuckling.com
The 2015er Würzgarten GG is made from parcels of very old un-grafted vines in the prime Urglück, Maxberg and Layenhaus sectors, fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for almost 12 months. This offers a rather reduced nose of spices, grapefruit, pear and herbs. The wine is quite ripe and round on the palate but good grapefruit-infused freshness comes through in the zesty finish.
