2004 Hochheimer Hölle Spätlese Trocken, Weingut Künstler

Still one of my favorites. The nose has nice exotic fruit with a slight caramel touch, with a little time and air it intensifies enormously transporting ripe passion-fruit and mangoes to your olfactory receptors. On the palate you have this typical Künstler symbiosis bringing fruit and slenderness together with loads of minerality as a link. The fruit is mouth-filling, the minerality transcendental, yet the wine doesn’t appear heavy or stiff. The minerality is still there in the aftertaste, together with a luscious caramel note which lasts incredibly long. I would say this wine is on its peak; it’s just so nice to drink right now and really has its one personality. Great experience again – 94
