Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 20, 2022 - Picked by many as the wine of the lineup among rieslings from around the world.

I generally understand this to be dry farmed on a slope with underground ephemeral stream watering the roots with cool mtn runoff. Winemaking seems to allow expression of much more stone and terroir characteristics than the fruit-disguise presented by many other bottles this evening. Dry, fruit character was ripe orange and apricot. This bottle represented therefore the warmest-spectrum fruits combo with the lowest residual sugar. The Dry Alsace bottles tended more to lemon, the mosel bottles with peach notes were fermented to much lower alc levels with higher g/L.

This was one of only 2 riesling of the evening I noted a hint of diacetyl on. It played delicately and appropriately into the trajectory on the nose and palate.
