WTN: Hungry Like the Wolfer

by David M. Bueker » Thu Dec 28, 2017 9:23 pm

2007 Vollenweider Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (12/28/2017)
It had been several years since I last had a bottle of this. In 2013 I was not impressed. Whether that was a bad bottle, or four years created magic I am not sure, but tonight’s bottle was utterly spellbinding. Richly fruity, with ample, integrated acidity, and deep, salty minerality, there was not an atom out of place. There’s not much else to say other than it was as close to perfect as can be.

Goldkapsel? Asking because Dani made lots of them in 07.

No. This was the regular. The GK is in the cellar.

Aha. Only bought the GK and have not touched it yet. Perhaps take one for the team?

Please do. I only have one left, as I drank one on release and gave one away as a gift!
