Note di degustazione
This bottling from the Halenberg (and, until 2014, labeled to let you know that, something the VDP no longer tolerates since there’s a corresponding Grosses Gewächs) delivers scents and luscious palate presence of lime, grapefruit and white peach. For all of its juicy, animating freshness, the wine feels almost caressingly silken. It finishes with impressive penetration, saliva-inducing salinity, subtle smokiness and consumate refreshment. (Re-tasting the 2014 alongside, it continues to have the edge in extract and mineral complexity while offering no less saliva-inducement or juicy refreshment.)

Pure and very flinty, with crushed rock notes on the nose, the 2015 Riesling Trocken Halgans (from the steepest part of the Halenberg and younger vines) is deep, darker flavored than the Frühtau and dominated by aristocratic Riesling aromas. Pretty intense and almost rich on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, intense and complex wine with a lot of salinity and mineral grip on the palate. It is even more intense and more smoky than the Frühtau, and its juiciness is accompanied by stony and salty flavors. Nevertheless, there is challenging purity and structure.
Second vintage. Intense, off-dry nose with real ripeness and structure. Great intensity. Seems much riper than the Frühtau?? (JR)
