2018 Merkelbach, Alfred - Urziger Wurzgarten Auslese #11 Urgluck (750ml)
90 Points
"Quince and strawberry preserves with a nip of cinnamon feature on the
botrytis-inflected nose and glossy palate of this caressingly soft,
prominently sweet offering. Happily, though, the lushly lingering finish
manages to offer some refreshment and proves surprisingly transparent
to a Mosel-typical wet stone undertone. Given its origin in a top site, I hope
that this will reveal a bit more complexity with time in bottle, though I
don’t anticipate it proving worth keeping to the point where superficial
sweetness significantly backs off. (For consistency, I have noted this wine’s
A.P. #, although the vineyard designation “Urglück” does appear on its label)"
