Mosbacher Forster Ungeheuer Spatlese
$63.99
In 1921 Richard Mosbacher Snr. (1898-1977) founded the current estate together with his sisters and named it after their father Georg: 'Weingut Georg Mosbacher Erben' (Wine estate of Georg Mosbacher's heirs). The curved 'M' which decorates their wine labels up to this day goes back to these first years. Richard Mosbacher Jnr. took over responsibility for the cellars when his father Richard - a declared anti-Nazi - was appointed mayor by the Americans after the end of the Second World. The winery now produces some of the finest wines in the Pfalz and all of Germany for that matter. The grapes for this wine are grown on a south and southeast-facing vineyard, 60% of it slopes up towards the edge of the forest, while 40% is on the lower slopes, on soils composed of sandstone with limestone outcrops and basalt.

d`Arenberg Stump Jump White

If you can hold the bottle at arm's length and still read the front label, you can enjoy another glass.

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Fresh out of the oven biscuits, pear compote, apple strudel, ripe banana, whipped cream with a dash of vanilla, elderflower, light dunnage notes and a touch of balsa wood and eucalyptus,
Palate: Smooth and creamy with a dash of spice. Shortbread, candied ginger, soft jujubes, lemonade and french toast with honey drizzled on top plus a touch of cinnamon powder.
Finish: Short, but sweet with just a touch of salt and creamy dannin to slowly dry the mouth and leave it ready for more. Possibly much more.
Comment: This is likely young as there are not a lot of prominent wood notes, but man is it ever balanced. It is not overly complex, but it sure is well put together and very drinkable.
