2020 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese Le Gallais - Egon Müller, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Mosel Fine Wines - 2020 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese, Le Gallais - Egon Müller

The 2020er Wiltinger braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese AP 05 was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It proves rather restrained and even reduced at first and needs quite some time to reveal some ripe, luscious, and very complex scents of pineapple, orange peel, mango, pear, a touch of quince, blackberry, almond cream, and a whiff of honey already lurking in the background. The wine proves highly fruity, smooth, and yet delicate on the palate but reveals a more spicy and herbal side in the focused, persistent, and intense finish. Sweetness still dominates the aftertaste of this wine with Auslese presence. This beauty will really only shine in a decade. 2033-2060+. - Juli 2021

James Suckling - 2020 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese, Le Gallais - Egon Müller

Complex, red-apple and red-plum nose with delicate spice. Very ripe, but retains noble discretion, the succulence married to great structure. Long, creamy finish, in which the grape sweetness is already beautifully integrated. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, Sep. 2021
