J.B. Becker - 2022 Riesling Walkenberg Spatlese Trocken Alte Reben

As per normal, while the Spätlese Trocken is gregarious and outward-looking, the old-vine bottling is more stern and structured. The vines here are all over 40 years old (some up into their 70s) and the concentration is there. Yet the 2022 feels to me more juicy, expressive and friendly than the 2020. It also has a very serious structure, chewy and phenolic. Floral and herbal notes. This is a triumph of a wine.
