2021 Van Volxem Bockstein Riesling GG

2011 Wegeler Riesling Geheimrat J
Germany, Rheingau
Blend from their best vineyards. This is a late release (Grand Cuvee Vintage Collection). They are creating more and more library releases as people and restaurants don’t have the cellars to age until peak drinking. This was drinking very well. Citrus, marmelade, petrol, high acidity, long finish. 92-93
