Cracked this Mosel for DinDin last night:
1. NikWeis Riesling St.Urbans-Hof Wiltingen AlteReben Mosel Pradikatswein (9.0%; A.P.Nr.3 529 290 06 14; EB; www.Urbans-Hof.com; HB Wine Merchants) Nik Weis/Leiwen/Mosel 2013: Deep gold/burnished bronze color; very strong pure R/mango/floral/pineapple slight musty/old wine very slight pungent/petrol bit honeyed fairly complex quite attractive nose; lightly tart rather rich/lush strong R/ripe mango/pineapple/floral big R fruit slight petrol bit off-dry fairly attractive if a bit simple/straight forward R flavor; very long rich/lush/ripe finish that mimics flavot; shows lots of rich/lush R fruit of a Spatlese level but not a whole lot of evolution; more Rheingau than Mosel.

1. Was a bit underwhelmed by this wine in that it's not showing a whole lot of evolution. My guess is that it needs to go another 5-10 yrs to show a whole lot of evolution.

That color is alarming. Seems damaged.

That said, 2013 is a strong vintage. I would not be surprised that a sound 2013 would have not evolved much yet.
