From the end of the Mosel, just before it empties into the Rhine, some unexpected unevenness in these wines.
HEYMANN-LÖWENSTEIN
2021 (Hatzenport) Kirchberg Riesling GG
Crisp, pure, clear, but still closed. Promising, though. 92/A
2021 (Winningen) Röttgen Riesling GG
Somewhat dilute and unfocused. Not showing well today. 86?/C
2021 (Hatzenport) Stolzenberg Riesling GG
Medium-weight, tightly-knit, somewhat austere, good length. 91+/A-
2021 (Winningen) Uhlen Blaufüsser Lay Riesling GG
Medium-light, intense, nervy, dense, but relatively austere for the moment. This wine was tasted from a cask sample. 90+/B+
2021 (Winningen) Uhlen Laubach Riesling GG
Austere, chalky, good length, medium-full, long. Exotic for Mosel with its limestone soil, and it flaunts the limestone. 92/A
2021 (Winningen) Uhlen Roth Lay Riesling GG
Fresh, clean, lively, medium-weight, energetic. 91+/A-
KNEBEL
2021 (Winningen) Röttgen Riesling GG
Floral nose. Medium-light body, celery seed flavor, dense. 89/B
2021 (Winningen) Uhlen Riesling GG
Medium-light, more relaxed, less tension than the Heymann-Löwenstein wines. Relatively austere for now. 89(+)/B
