Weingut Alfred Merkelbach Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese, Mosel, Germany 2021 Honjozo while retaining good acid balanceThe 2021 rziger Wrzgarten Riesling Sptlese is clear and fine on the pure and slightly smoky nose that displays bright fruit with terroir driven earthy notes. Clear and crystalline on the palate, this is a lush yet savory, saline and stimulating, precise Sptlese with fresh and slightly greenish, crisp and citric fruit. Delicate grip on the medium sweet and animating finish. 92 Pts James Suckling
