Note di degustazione
This pair was partnered by a 2019 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Spätlese Grünlack, from the historic Rheingau estate. It is clearly very primal on the nose, offering fragrant scents of pineapple, quince and a light Muscat-like aroma. The palate is well balanced with a fine spine of acidity, not overly complex yet texturally satisfying. There’s good substance on the finish and melon and tinned white peaches on the aftertaste. (NM)

What do you say about a wine that almost literally knocks you off your chair? All the flowers and fruits of the tropics, but so delicate and refined that you can hardly get a grip on it. Such brilliance and such precise balance enable this medium-sweet Riesling to defy effortlessly the rules of the category and confidently swim directly against the current of wine fashion. Supernatural freshness at the finish. Taste this before you die! Drink or hold.

The 2019 Schloss Johannisberger Riesling Spätlese Grünlack is coolish, intense yet subtle, fresh and elegant on the nose, and the fruit is still discreet and free of botrytis. Sweet and clear on the palate, this is a pure, fresh, elegant and tightly structured Spätlese with stimulating salinity on the persistent and grippy finish. Still far too young to be served today but promising. Tasted in June 2020.
