The 2021 Riesling Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett (Golden Capsule) AP 162 is clear, bright and savory on the pure and elegant nose with its fresh and slightly greenish/lemony fruit and crunchy slate aromas. On the palate, this is a supple, intense but light, refined and elegant Wurzgarten with persistent saline acidity and mineral tension on the still-young finish. This is a charming but also tensioned and crystalline Wurzgarten Kabinett that will benefit from further bottle aging, though. The wine hasn`t been released yet, and it`s not yet defined when it will be. Compared to AP 62 (which comes from another parcel), this is perhaps a little bit sharper in terms of acidity. Markus likes both versions, but he didn`t want to blend them like he normally does because both versions tasted better without the other. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 162 22 at the domaine in May 2023. 93+ points
