Haart/Julian Riesling Spätlese Piesporter Goldtröpfchen 2020

94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Julian Haart’s 2020 Goldtröpfchen Spätlese AP #12 is a beautiful, classic, light as a feather bottle, coming in at a svelte seven percent octane and offering up a gorgeous bouquet of peach, gooseberry, a hint of passion fruit, honeycomb, acacia blossoms, a complex base of slate soil tones and a topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, crisp and laser-like in its precision, with snappy acids, lovely filigree and a long, complex and dancing finish. This is a middleweight example of Spätlese that offers stunning intensity of flavor and backend lift. 2021-2065. (Jan/Feb 2022)"

93+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 12 21. The 2020er Goldtröpfchen Spätlese, as it is referred to on the red and silver consumer label, was made from ripe but fully clean fruit and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It proves quite reductive and only reveals faint notes of white flowers, vineyard peach, herbs, and spices at first. Then, gradually, scents of orange blossom, tangerine, vineyard peach, spices, and mint kick in with more airing. The wine is beautifully juicy and finely spicy on the elegant and multi-layered palate. There is still a touch sweetness still noticeable in the finish, but time will allow it to integrate and the wine may even turn out better than expected if it gains finesse. 2030-2050. (Sep 2021)"
