The 2020 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben opens with a generous, intensely fruity but also purely mineral bouquet that intermingles tropical fruit aromas with notes of crushed red slate and volcanic rocks. Lush and refined on the palate, this is an intense, dense and elegant, firmly structured and tensioned, very persistent and salty Würzgarten from ancient, ungrafted vines. The wine reveals crystalline and precise acidity and a long and tensioned finish. After the terrific 2019, the 2020 is another stellar Kabinett from this spectacular, steep vineyard, even though it needs years to show its best. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 05 21 in November 2021.
