While less clear in the nose than the corresponding Rheingrafenberg due to this wine’s yeasty, spontaneously fermentative overtones, and perhaps also to its share of botrytized fruit, Hexamer’s 2010 Schlossbockelheimer in den Felsen Riesling Spatlese is nonetheless energetically and ripely acidic; generously full of lime, peach and raspberry; and finishes with saliva-inducing salinity and stony counterpoint. Less lush than the Rheingrafenberg, it displays greater lift and finishes with tingling zest, berry, and fruit skin tartness. Provided that its slight fermentative shroud dissipates short-term it will easily prove a qualitative match for that sibling. Figure on 12-15 years of delight. (91+)
