Reviewed April 2017
The 2011 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben GG Réserve displays a clear, intense and matured nose of ripe, dried and concentrated Riesling aromas, along with white fruit aromas, caramel-like and nutty flavors. Full-bodied, rich and piquant, with fresh lemon aromas, this Riesling has fine acidity and good concentration. This is a rich and powerful, yet elegant cru from a very warm vintage. (SR) 91+

Crisp tangerine, lemon and lime contrast the lavish, almost creamy texture in this powerful, dry Riesling. Extended aging on the lees lends a dense, mouth-filling weight that's penetrating and persistent. (AI)

A bright, vivid and juicy style, with notes of dried lime to the ginger, apple pastry and dried savory herb flavors. Lemon curd accents fill the luxuriant finish, which features bracing minerality. (KM)

Notes

93 points Jean Fisch and David Rayer for Mosel Fine Wines: "The Würzgarten Reserve GG is made from parcels of very old un-grafted vines in the prime Urglück, Maxberg, Layenhaus and original Würzgarten sectors. It is fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for 24 months before being bottled. This has a rather reserved, elegant and smoky nose. After some airing it shows a broader aromatic profile with anise, mint, yellow peach and a touch of toffee (a sign of reduction). The wine is however full of freshness and elegance on the palate and leaves a gorgeously spicy and salty imprint in the very long and pure finish." (10/2014)
