Vinous (94)This auctioned Spätlese is exceptionally clear and buoyant, with a much more northerly and less tropical fruit presence than I had anticipated. Suggestions of white currant put me in mind of the Ruwer and add to the tang and brightness already conveyed by coolingly mint-tinged lime, grapefruit, quince and white peach. Subtle creaminess of feel is allied to animation and refreshment, palpable density to utmost levity. Zilliken points to suggestions of dried fruits here that reflect lightly desiccated but healthy berries (which the picking crew was asked to favor and place in a separate bucket from fruit for the “regular” Spätlese), but I must say I find at most hints of that on the nose, whereas infectious juiciness conveys a luscious, compelling impression of freshness on the palate. The vibrantly sustained finish is strikingly transparent to stony, smoky, saline and bittersweetly floral nuances. |

Vinous (92)Once one knows Hanno Zilliken’s unique approach to numbering his wines, one will recognize that – by no means for the first time – his auction Spätlese originated with higher-Oechsle and generally more concentrated fruit than that which informed the lightest Auslese (this year, the A.P. #5). There is density and blazing brightness here, nearly equal to that of the aforementioned Auslese, but there’s also a slightly more playful and nuanced complexity. Yellow plum, white peach, grapefruit and lime are tinged with mint and smoky black tea on the nose and firm palate, and stony and mouthwateringly saline notes add impressively and appealingly to a vibrantly sustained finish. |

Vinous (92)This wine was raised in a five-year-old fuder with the intention of lending some structure and some pushback to its sweetness – and there is indeed a lot of sweetness here, pushing things in a syrupy direction. Quince and pear jellies and glazed pineapple dominate on the nose and the viscous, glycerol-rich palate. Happily, there is a lovely sense of lift despite the wine’s sheer concentration. Hints of zest from candied citrus peels as well as of resin from barrel add to the counterpoint supplied by tangy pineapple core on a finish of formidable persistence. And one hopes that there will be further diversity as well as a counter to the sweetness as this wine evolves in bottle. It originated with a 117-Oechsle must, and Hanno Zilliken even referred to it as a “super Auslese,” adding with a smile, “one that lent itself to offering as our auction Spätlese.” And he readily admitted that the estate has never before marketed as Spätlese any wine this concentrated and from fruit this high in must weight. (Readers already familiar with the Zillikens’ unique approach to registration numbers will recognize that this wine’s A.P. #7 implies not just that they deemed it superior in quality but also that it reflects a higher must weight than do three wines – the A.P. #s 8-10 – that were labeled as Auslese.) |
