WTN: I just Deidesheim in your arms tonight

by David M. Bueker » Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:17 am

2012 von Winning Deidesheimer Kalkofen Riesling Großes Gewächs - Germany, Pfalz (1/17/2019)
Vibrant aromatics, focused on florals and citrus, with a touch of salty ocean. On the palate the fruit is bracing but not tart. A firm streak of acidity runs through the wine from start to finish. Pure guesswork on my part about sweetness, but it comes across as mid-range of trocken, as opposed to austerely dry. Excellent palate depth gives way to a long, citrusy finish. This is excellent, and drinking very well now, with ages to go for enjoyable drinking.

Nice. I have been reading reports about 2012 GGs being shutdown, but obviously there is always variation.

I broached a 2012 Rebholz Ganz Horn-im Sonnenschein at the end of the year and it needed a bit of air but eventually showed nicely. That said, it wasn't gushing so will probably err on the side of caution and wait a bit on the next bottles.
