Tasting Notes

Vinous Joel Payne - 01 Mar 15
Subtle aromas of apricot, pine nuts and laurel, with a twist of sweet lime. The intriguing nectarine fruit displays depth, elegance and enormous complexity, with spicy weight animating the palate. In spite of its concentration, this dry Riesling finishes with ethereal lightness. One of the finest Grosses Gewächs of the vintage, it should mature well over the coming seven years.
