     39,00 INC. VAT The Auslesen are obtained from ripe, golden yellow and from rusty grapes. Here there is a natural concentration of all flavours. Auslese often taste like dried fruits such as dates, figs or raisins, but also like dried peach and apricot. Mostly Auslesen are sweet wines. Only in rare cases do we offer dry and delicate selection.Add to cart

    Overripe pear and lychee on the nose take on a syrupy impression on the polished, soft, subtly creamy and delicate palate. The finish accentuates the impressions of vanilla and liquid lily perfume that were already noted in this year’s "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese. And here, too, there is enough juiciness that the caressingly sustained, lush finish doesn’t become cloying. Müllen would certainly take issue with my assessment of ageworthiness, but while it’s going to take a long time for this wine’s superficial sweetness to back off, I am not convinced that the wait will pay significant dividends in complexity. Müllen is currently much enamored with the evolution of his vintage 2003 Spätlesen and Auslesen, with their softness of feel, prominent sweetness and confectionary, caramel-tinged character. Oenophiles who share his high opinion of those traits in Mosel Riesling may well feel rewarded by patient cellaring of a 2018 like this one. (Yet-riper sweet wines from the Hühnerberg – along with other nobly sweet wines from Müllen’s vintage 2018 collection – will be tasted in late 2020 and reviewed as part of a subsequent report.)

    Its silky texture caresses the palate, the aromas of cherry, blackberry and roses linger. The coveted Pinot Noir creates a timely sensuous mood. The nose evokes ripe red and black fruits: sweet berry and cherry fruits are enveloped in the bright ruby red robe of this wine, following on to a palate full of ripe red cherries and spice, a merest hint of smoke and gentle but pleasant tannins that all mingle to produce a great and satisfying wine.

     39,00 INC. VAT For England, a sparkling wine initially produced to delight the driest palates in the British market, today is available in two beautiful expressions of Pinot Noir: Blanc de Noir and Rosé. The salmon pink color of For England Rosé reflects its extreme elegance. Its aromas are precise, with hints of citrus peel and marzipan. On the palate it is intense and well-structured, with notes of peach and thyme. The perlage is creamy and persistent

    COLOR : onion-skin pink

    PERFUME : delicate notes of wild berries, rosehip and bergamot biscuits

    TASTE : mineral and crisp, with subtle nuances of candied citrus and toasted bread. The perlage is fine, elegant and long-lasting

    The 2021 Soave Classico La Rocca seduces, flaunting its rich bouquet of confectionary spice and sweet oak before coming further into focus with baked apple and chamomile notes. This is elegance personified, opulent at first and then decidedly savory and precise, with crisp orchard fruits flowing across a saline-tinged, acidic core. The 2021 finishes with dramatic length, staining the palate in youthful concentration as zesty citrus combines with dried apricot and peach. This is an especially decedent vintage for La Rocca, yet the balance is something to behold. It was refined for one year in a mix of 2000- and 500-liter Slavonian oak barrels.

    Honeysuckle and heliotrope on the nose deliver site-typical allure. The palate feels surprisingly firm, though it exudes generously juicy apple. Piquancy of apple seed and the bitter aspect of vanilla bean serve for welcome counterpoint on a lusciously fruited finish admirably transparent to wet stone. I suspect that this installment of “Fuder #6” will grow in stature given a few years in bottle.

    This marries fruit from the uppermost of Müllen’s four terraces in Hühnerberg with fruit from below the terraced section (the same steep sector that yielded this year’s impressive “no star” Spätlese trocken). Pineapple, white peach and mint mingle on the nose with site-typical suggestions of woodsmoke. The silken palate is at once soothingly cooling and tinglingly invigorating, with sweetness supportively judged without trying to become a dominant player in its own right. Hints of quince and caramel point to advanced ripeness (with a trace of botrytis) and are gorgeously complemented by the wine’s textural richness and subtle sweetness on a lusciously lingering finish. The balance of richness with fresh fruit juiciness and the impeccable balance of sweetness are features I have generally missed in residually sweet Müllen bottlings of past vintages. (Whether or not this wine’s vineyard origins or the fact that it is the collection’s sole sweet Hühnerberg Spätlese account for its being labeled without stars, don’t let that mislead you – even if Müllen encourages this – to anticipate less than top quality.)

    The 2021 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Bionzo is redolent of blackberry, gravel, incense, licorice, graphite and dark spice. As always, the Bionzo is a brooding Barbera from Asti although these days the wines aren't as huge as they were just a few years ago.

    The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Gallina is pretty impressive in this vintage. Dark and potent, with terrific persistence, the Gallina has plenty of texture that has always been a signature but without the heaviness and strong oak imprint that was at times penalizing. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, mocha and rose petals scream out of the glass. Pretty floral top notes brighten the finish.

    The 2017 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Bionzo is laced with the essence of blackberry jam, gravel, smoke, crushed rocks and menthol. This potent, structured Barbera from Asti needs a few years to unwind, but it is impressive. Like the Gallina, the Bionzo shows a transition to a style that is a bit less overt than in the past, but without sacrificing the intensity La Spinetta fans have come to expect. I would give the tannins a few years to soften.

     44,00 INC. VAT The story:From a research on ultracentenary vines present in our historic vineyards we found out this old variety probably was used as phylloxera answer around 1800. From here the idea of recreating a little piece of vineyard without the american root, looking for a wine "of story" but also of revival. Crisp and Sapid, fruity and floral on the nose. Structured and mineral palate.Add to cart

    The 2022 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg has a lovely ivy edge on the nose alongside peach, peppery and fragrant. The palate is alive with peachy sweetness, juicy and rose petal tinged, beautifully rounded with a frame of bitter orange zest, rich but well-contoured. The zestiness and pithiness counter the 34 g/L of residual sugar, adding their lovely bitterness to this gently sweet wine. Together, they make the mouth water. (Off-Dry)

    Ripe pear and lime wreathed in buddleia and lily-of-the-valley make for an alluring nose and then lusciously inform a seductively creamy, delicate palate. Smoky black tea and incisive fresh ginger lend invigoration to a finish that sensationally extends the wine’s intense pure fruit, along with a liquefaction of its floral perfume. Why no stars? Apparently Müllen thought this wine was beyond all that. He was right.

    Tasting Notes

    Muffato della Sala 2022 is an intense bright golden yellow. The nose presents notes of ripe tropical fruit, in particular pineapples, mangoes, apricots, peaches and citrus zest accompanied by hints of honey, caramel, butter and spicey notes of saffron and ginger. The palate is pleasantly dense, full bodied and defined by excellent balance between sweetness and acidity. The long finish offers notes of honey, jam, dried apricots and candied fruit.

     50,00 INC. VAT Not for the first time, Müllen views a "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese – this one issuing from two broad upper terraces and the site’s oldest vines (likely ones recorded as having been planted by Langguth in 1898) – as superior to the corresponding Hühnerberg Auslese trocken. (In fact, he’s asking nearly twice the price.) Sometimes the difference in Prädikat reflects a distinct difference in character, but in the present instance, Müllen had to bottle as “Auslese” a batch that slightly exceeded the legal limit for free SO2 in white wines of Prädikat Spätlese. As is also often the case, Müllen’s dry “two-star” Hühnerberg was the last wine of its vintage to get bottled. A fascinating nose offers chamomile, iris, ginseng and peach kernel, anticipating the subtly musky, piquant, hard-to-capture elements that join luscious flesh of white peach on a glossy and expansive palate. The influence of over 12,5% alcohol is felt in terms of body but fortunately not heat. The correspondingly complex finish features a decisive undertone of wet stone, and grips with remarkable persistence, its piquant elements well integrated. 93 pts

    The 2021 Guidalberto, San Guido's blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is soft, succulent and alluring right out of the gate. The supple contours of Merlot lend fleshiness to this mid-weight, racy Maremma blend. Ripe red cherry fruit, spice, leather and tobacco are nicely pushed forward. Best of all, the 2021 will drink well right out of the gate.
