The Grand Cru dry wines of Weiser-Künstler are among the most cerebral dry Rieslings made in the Mosel. They are wines of meditation, wines that seem to have something more to do with distillates or teas made from stone, ore and flower. They have very little easy fruit to hang one’s hat on. In other words, they are among the most thrilling wines from this fabled place.
Anise, lavender, blueberry, rainwater - on the palate it is expansive, like a cold morning mist reaching into every pore. Weightless with a perfumed fruit on the palate that is purple and blue. There is an acid, a linear quality to the wines, they are ethereal and expansive, almost non-tangible. It is a room with no edges, a corner with no crease?
If you can, do not decant, yet keep the wine open for as long as you can; it is only more intriguing on days three and beyond.
