WTN: Riesling for Orcs

[David M. Bueker]

2012 Alfred Merkelbach Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese Urglück
The lime and berry aromatics were immediately apparent as I pulled the cork. A bit drier than the regular UW Spatlese, it also has more obvious minerality than its sibling-a result of less baby fat. Wonderfully drinkable, the wine has a balance that will allow for effortless aging.

Not quite sure what/where is Urglück? I see Salil has also posted on CT.

Plenty of riesling notes on quite a few forums right now eh David. The Virtual Tasting over on Be...... is getting lots of attention.

From his note it looks like a subplot of the Wurzgarten.

I assumed Urgluck was in Mordor based on the title.

And if they want a red wine, I assume they drink Domaine de la Mordoree.
