Knebel 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese Röttgen

"There was very little botrytis in 2022 – the fruit was perfect.Shimmering intensity. Like salted caramel with salted apricots. So concentrated and so stunningly perfect and so way too young that words are awkward and clumsy and pointless. If you can afford it, open this wine in 15 years' time, and I still defy you to describe it." Tasted by Tamlyn Currin, wine writer for Jancis Robinson19.5/20 Nectar of the Gods.
