Cuvée Ste. Catherine Schlossberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling

Perhaps something is off with my palate today, but tasting one of the world‘s great rieslings was a massive disappointment. Can’t get past the extraction and the insanely high alcohol that dwarfs the moderate acidity and faint minerality. Highly extracted phenolics. Least disappointing of the lineup, but worst once you factor in price

A beautiful richness, lemongrass honey, of the cool and slate earth. Beautiful texturally, balanced, a purity and richness. Minerality defines, a through line. Delicious
