Vivac Riesling; Dixon, NM; 2021; 13% abv; : Med.light yellow color; attractive pineapplr/mango/R bit stony/mineral quite pleasant R nose; fairly lightweight near dry attractive mango/R/pineapple fairly stony flavor; very long light mango/R finish; not a profound R but one of the better NM R I've had; reminds more of Sudtirol R than of German R. $32?; (MR)

More gillospurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. The Mosel R was a very impressive wine. It had a lot of rich/lush texture for a 20 yr old Mosel Kabinett. It was showing a nice degree of complexity but still seemed a bit on the youthful side. I expect it will go out another 10 yrs at least.

2006 is a freak vintage where even Kabinett wines were far into Auslese territory (and one producer I know for certain sold a Kabinett that could have qualified as Beerenauslese). The wines are rich and likely to be near immortal. Quite a bit of botrytis also, so it’s not for everyone.

I confess I take a deep breath every time I open an 06 German. I actually do like some (JJP Auslese, Donnhoff Spat) but typical they ain't!

I still have like 6 cases of deep breaths left.
