Medium gold colour. Pronounced and developing nose with ripe green apples, ripe pear, peach, honey, almonds, orange blossom, petroleum and honeysuckle. Pronounced taste of ripe green apples, ripe pear, ripe lemon, peach, honey, almonds, honeysuckle and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good Alsace Grand Cru Riesling from a magnum bottle. Needed 15 min to open. Drink now or over the next five years. Goes well with fish, shellfish or sushi.

At resataurant La Butte Plouguerneau France. decanted 30 min. blind tasting for my guest. Tasted at 14°C in Riedel glasses. As declared that is a crowed pleaser with lemon grass, babydoll plastic, clementine, mandarine, but mostly an oily and silky texture. Low potential of cellaring, a heat vintage well manage for quick pleasure.

Not at all what I was expecting from a “Mosel Riesling” (the brief to the wine shop) - strong tropical and peach/pear aromas and flavours. I was hoping for searing citrus and acidity… not this wine.
Lys med grnligt skær. Meget floral næse med hyldeblomst, lidt honning. Hyldeblomstsaft i munden, medium syre, lidt olieret. Lidt fad i smagen, ikke meget energi.

Acidité épicée. Vin bon mais ne vaut pas son prix : on trouve des Rieslings de même stature à 20 euros (celui-ci payé 50 euros).
