Weingut Günther Steinmetz Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel

Opened at cellar temperature, and I was not prepared for how amazing this already was. It has the color of saffron infused risotto, and there is even a touch of saffron on the palate. The stone fruits are incredible and abundant on the nose and palate, particularly dried apricot and nectarine. Ample acidity keeps the sugar in check, and there is this heady aroma of Middle Eastern or North African spices that sends this into another gear. I only have …

짙은 호박색 좀 풀어지니 꼬릿한 감기약 뉘앙스 과실은 레몬쪽 미네랄좋고 산도좋고 피니시도 좋음 와인은 좋으나 그런데 나는 어중간한 달달이는 안맞는듯 ㅋ

밀랍, 복숭아, 붉은 사과, 흰꽃 복숭아 통조림 시럽의 당도 처럼 달지만 입에서 굴려보면 높은 산도가 정리 해준다. 음식과 매칭해보려 했지만 나한텐 힘든일이었다. 복숭아 타르트와 1~2잔 먹으면 정말 좋을듯한 디저트 와인

East Bay Riesling Squad- surviving the Ides of March (New Dumpling, El Cerrito CA) : This is showing very similar to how it was in July of 23. In that it’s gorgeous and still fresh with deft and succulent tones of red apples, creamed peaches, candied apples, nectarines, lemon peels, apricots, spring flowers, and jasmine. There is excellent depth and seamlessness that is poised and lovely. The Light bodied feel is deft and textured with crisp, high acidity that makes …

very much in line with Rieslinghoarder’s note below

Riesling masterclass with Craig Ganzer (Ora et Labora, Portland OR) : The nose is deep and succulent while still showing a lot of fresh tones of apricots, nectarines, green apples, beeswax, honeydew melons, jasmine, peach blossoms, limes, green tea, saline, crushed rocks, and mineral notes. The Light bodied feel is fresh and silky with tart, high acidity that really cuts through the sugar. This is fantastic and also quite young. This has a lot of runway to improve a lot …

The floor wax note from my last note is gone. But now I notice the sweetness even more. This is dessert level sweet.

Nose has a bit of a floor wax note which will hopefully evolve out over time.

Glassware: Zalto Universal Prep: Pop n' pour Concentrated sunshine in a glass. Somewhat austere on the nose, mostly ripe pear with some whiffs of lemon/lime spritz. Glides across the palate with flavors of pear, candied lime peel, minty herbs, honey, and vanilla cream. Fresh acidity lingers on a long finish, complemented by the honeyed fruit notes and some subtle slate minerals. While mouthcoating, the wine is marked by a delicate and buoyant mouthfeel I particularly enjoy that makes me come …
