Willi Schaefer, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese Brut Zero the Tench is a classic

the Tench is a classic Russell Bevan wine built on serious fruit intensity and structure

The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity

the 2022 P2KV Syrah Rodney's Vineyard has a singular nose of peppery red and blue fruits

Strong reduction completely dominates the underlying fruit though there is terrific verve and punch to the intensely mineral-driven big-bodied and overtly powerful flavors that possess gorgeous complexity on the textured

This relatively refined CdlR should amply reward extended keeping and it is one of the better recent vintages that I have seen for this wine

Willi Schaefer, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese Brut Zero the Tench is a classicQuiet nose. All folded up. But not at all subdued on the palate This sings! Like a bird out the cage. Filigree glass acidity, sparkling with life. Coriander and green peach and honey and lime. Long long long. Thrilling. (TC)
