spectacular with lamb curry - lovely fruit forward but not cloying, with following acidity and a long finish. in a wonderful place .popped and poured from 375, ready now!

A superb wine and proper grand cru quality. Bright on the nose but with a restraint, firm, lovely acidity but also polished and the wine maintained an elegance that only top of the line Riesling can deliver. This is a wine for the lovers of more mineral and focussed , rather than fatty and plumb. 93 and with a good 10yrs plus of life ahead.

bright light lemon color, generous bouquet of white flowers on the nose, apple, pear, a bit of citrus rind, on the palate quite generous at the moment with apple and citrus notes that have a slight sense of sweetness but quickly flow into a long firm lime-driven finish, rounded stone notes throughout, a very beautiful lemongrass tone with time on both the nose and palate, quite a bit of petrol as well at present which is a bit distracting in the moment but just another sign of a fine young Alsatian Riesling that needs time, it has been a few years since I had this- but based on memory this strikes me as a particularly nice example, definitely a bit more volume than I remember and those intense floral and lemongrass notes can only mean good days ahead, this should be a smashing luncheon wine with a nice piece of fish after a little rest in the cellar.
*(***)+, 2024-2037, this could well reach 5 stars in time

Nez difficile a définir. Belle attaque en bouche. Agréable tendresse. Yuzu en finale!
