Sounds like a TN, too young and unforgiven on day one, but definitely gets better on day two

Deep!

Congratulations! And for the next handful of months you’ll have the opportunity to open a wine for dinner and then follow its evolution at 23:30, 1:15, 3:25, 4:40 and so on

Thanks sounds eerily how it was with our first one. Thank goodness the second one has been like a clock with her three hour rhythm.

Don’t worry, that changes quickly

Another terrific ”er zappelt” bottling from Hofgut Falkenstein, the perfect beverage for the very non-Finnish temperatures we have been enjoying of late. Love these wines.

• 2020 Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett "er zappelt" #16 Schilly - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (31.7.2025)
  The nose is awesomely fresh with green fruit tones and tons of rocky minerality. Very much on the citrusy end of the Riesling spectrum with a little sponti funk and some herbal tones. On the palate this is quite firm and focused with only a bit of sugary sweetness on its sleek frame. Superb acidity provides tension, lift and a mouthwatering finish. There’s really good length too. Sort of restrained in its expression, backwards even, but very enjoyable and goes down so easy. A rather specific style and very good in it.
