  Reliving a bit of our summer Alsace trip as Paul Blanck was one of the wineries we visited. Ordered a 6 pack from our local winestore and paid $35 per. Pulled out the tasting sheet from our trip and at the winery this was 19 euros - oh well, should have brought a bunch back. This GC Riesling is ripe and rich, mainly apricot but other stone fruit as well. Tastes like a bit of residual sugar as well but that is well balanced by the bracing acidity - absolutely loving this wine, ah the memories!!!

  Medium plus nose shows floral components, white flowers, jasmine, orange zest, hint of petrol, slate, tropical fruit like kiwi, mango. Palate shows slightly off-dry, high acidity, stone fruit driven with apricot pith, peach puree, rocky minerality. Finish has a weird note, like banana or something, then back to petrol and hint of sweetness. Also a little hot, especially for Riesling.
