Wine Advocate (94)The Lorcher Riesling 2021 Krone offers a fascinatingly pure, elegant, intense and aromatic bouquet of crushed (flint and lime) stones intermingled with notes of citrus fruits and, initially, also green pimientos. Round and elegant on the palate, with fine and saline acidity, this is a textured yet highly refined and finessed Riesling with the textural precision of chalk and the finessed acidity of slate. There are fine tannins here as well. After aeration, the chalky features came out more prominently and gave a silky texture with a greenish phenolic grip on the salty finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in November 2022. |

Vinous (94)This auction lot opens with aromas and palate attack quite unlike those of the corresponding non-auction Auslese A.P. #6 and reflecting a prevalence of desiccated but botrytis-free berries. Lime and grapefruit figure prominently, along with lusciously ripe but fresh kiwi and white peach. A faint hint of white raisin adds appeal. The palate feel is seductively creamy, offering alluring contrast with the wine’s levity and fresh-fruitedness. The superbly sustained finish is transparent to a shimmering wealth of stony, smoky and saline nuances. |

Vinous (91)This sole Auslese bottling of the present Zilliken collection is dominated by white peach, quince, grapefruit and lime. Like several of its siblings, it is marked by both animatingly bright citricity and creaminess of texture – though here, at least in the wine’s youthful state, the two are a bit at odds with each other. Glycerol conveys an oily feel here as well, and the citrus elements turn zesty and candied in the finish, yet all without sacrificing primary juiciness. “We had as good as no botrytis,” noted Zilliken. “We’re talking here principally about perfectly healthy grapes that were lightly desiccated.” A half-bottle with a bit left in it that had been open for two months came amazingly close in quality to freshly opened one. “I’ve been following this open bottle with some surprise myself,” observed Zilliken, adding by way of explanation that there hasn’t been any point in serving the rest of it since the wine was immediately sold out and he doesn’t want to frustrate his clientele. Here’s a bottling with which one should be patient, though I seriously doubt that it will ever deliver quite the complexity or superb balance exhibited by its two Spätlese siblings. |

Vinous (92)This auctioned Auslese reflects a significant portion of botrytized, shriveled berries and was picked out during the last week of harvest. Quince, gooseberry and apricot preserves are mingled with glazed pineapple and candied grapefruit peel, making for an impression on both nose and palate that is at once rich, tart and piquant. Enormously high (43 grams) dry extract translates into an implacable sense of density, which is accompanied by an almost metallic sheen and a degree of brightness that may find you searching for the gustatory equivalent of sunglasses. The rapier, energetic finish left my salivary glands pumping, my gums and tongue tingling, and the sum of my mouth parts generally feeling wrung out. This formidable elixir is likely to be a long keeper, and I hope it will eventually deliver greater genuine pleasure. |

Mosel | 4 | 94 (VN) | HK$3,190.00 | |||||
Vinous (94)This auctioned Auslese introduces a measure of lemon-lime citricity and a primary juiciness that would have been welcome in this year’s auction Spätlese (A.P. #7), and the similar prominence of quince and pear jellies is thereby cut and enlivened. Tangy pineapple core and bittersweet cassis contribute to the wine’s welcome animation, while the confitured orchard fruits take on a lightly caramelized edge and are joined by mango, a familiar feature from upper-Prädikat Zilliken offerings. The palate impression is dense and downright viscous but also seductively creamy in texture, setting up a lovely counterpoint with the fresh and zesty citricity as well as with the hint of resin and tannin from a fairly new fuder. The correspondingly multifaceted finish is vibrantly as well as lusciously persistent. |

The palate impression is lusciously fruited, expansive and creamy, and the soothingly lingering finish happily reprises subtle piquancy and salinity while offering ample fresh fruit juiciness. |
