Mosel, Lenhardt, Mehringer Blattenberg, trocken, Riesling, 75cl, 2022
The 2022er Mehringer Blattenberg Riesling Trocken is a tank-fermented dry wine made from parcels planted with very old vines still for a part ungrafted. It offers a still remarkably backward nose upon opening where earthy spices, smoke, and residual elements from the fermentation drive the scents. After quite a while, the wine starts to show its true colors as citrusy elements, bergamot, and cassis start to join the party and take the lead.
The wine is superbly precise and intense, but also still quite tart at this stage on the palate. It is really only in the superbly intense and focused aftertaste that the potential packed in this wine comes through. What a great piece of dry Riesling in the making, which even has some potential! 2026-2036
