WTN: 2x 2015 Merkelbach UW Auslese

2015 Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese #8 Lang Pichter
Absolutely dazzling. Had a few bottles of this in the spring and it's still showing much of the same glory. Rich, luscious, succulent peachy and tropical, but also tangy fresh and a very very dazzling dance of minerals on the palate. Still very young and unformed, so I wonder if this has density or complexity to age well (?). I'm not a long-time Merkelbach drinker so I wouldn't know. But I also don't care, because this is such a dazzling drink right now.

2015 Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese #9 Urglück
Calmer than the Lang Pichter as the flavors tilt more towards the crunchy orchard fruit side of things and the fruit only hints at its capacity to burst. Still, while not a full-throttle dazzle, it is tasty tangy and juicy, so you'll derive some pleasure.

Merkelbach wines age surprisingly well.

I have some of that Lang Pichter somewhere (!) in the cellar, so will have to dig one out.

Good to know. Although I have so much other stuff that needs age, I might not find out! (Something must be bought to drink now)

Merkelbach wines drink well at any age (hope that helps).
