Riesling Großes Gewächs Frühlingsplätzchen
-- John Gilman: The 2013 Frühlingsplätzchen Grosses Gewächs was also not settled on for its final blend, but we tasted two components and then Frank put together an approximation of the final cuvée. Part one is a touch sweeter at 10.7 grams per liter of residual sugar and is really lovely on both the nose and palate, offering up a vibrant nose of lime, tangerine, a beautiful base of slate, gentle notes of petrol, wild yeasts and lemongrass. The second component is drier, and offers up lovely smokiness, plenty of lime zest, grapefruit, botanical overtones and a great base of slate and petrol. The overall blend should come in around 6.5 grams per liter of residual sugar and approximately at eight grams per liter of acidity, and offers up a lovely aromatic blend of grapefruit, petrol, gorgeous slate minerality, cress, tart orange and gentle smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very precise and mineral in personality, with excellent focus and great cut and grip on the youthful finish. This will be dynamite as well. 2020-2050. 93-94+/100
