August 25, 2021 - Under cork, this wine evolved beautifully over a few hours and then held up without issues over 2 days.
The colour is as expected with Clemens Busch - it looks a bit more golden and deeper than many other German kabinet Rieslings. The nose and palate evolved from almost Chablis like restraint when first opened to the usual Clemens-Bush GG riot of tropical fruits (even a hint of pineapple), stone fruits and, to me, a note of ginger/ginger flower. The texture is magical - lush but finishing crisp and clean and very, very long.
I confess that I struggle for objectivity with these wines - they really move me and have an incredible emotional impact that few wines do. For example the Keller wines, which are simply magnificent and expressions of Riesling purity don't move me like the Clemens Busch GG's do. I regard these wines as cheap, given what you get.
My score reflects the Cellar tracker scale - outstanding wine.1 person found this helpful Comments (1) -

August 5, 2021 - Another beautiful Riesling, yellow fruits, pineapple, floral notes, and a faint hint of cotton candy on the nose. The palate is creamy, grapefruit, and slate. Very elegant now, but probable upside with another year or two.
