This wine knows what it is compared to the 2019 Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese feinherb we had recently (which was way too young and temperamental).
It's also a very rich Kabinett-level wine, if you like that... superior aging potential... balanced fruit and acidity...
Alte Reben cuvee is dependable year in and year out... I suppose "Gisela" is a specific barrel (?). Albeit, this appears to be a particularly rich vintage, based on my admittedly limited, but very very enjoyable experience with Erich and Johannes Weber's wines courtesy of introduction through @"Marius Fries"...The fruit here exhibits a very noble tropical finsh after being open a few hours that I think is primed for further cellaring...
17th February follow up notes..
Enjoying the rest of this bottle on Feb 17th, a full siz days under vacuum seal chilled in a wine friIdge... wow! remarkable, clearly beautifully managed in the vineyard ... ... piquant, FULL fruit... so tasty with impressive depth and finish... quite more lush than earlier vintages.... I love the purity of fruit but miss the elegance...
