Brauneberger Juffer Riesling "GB"
Germany
Stunningly elegant and refined nose of slate, vivid pear, peaches, melon and apricot. Hugely fruit driven aromas but on a bed of slate. Wild herbs and flowers. Gorgeous delicacy and refinement. Palate is complex, concentrated and very young. Almost backwards. Mouthwatering and superbly mineral this needs mega air and is not nearly as open as the Hengelberg. But what a finish. So long. Even in the small amount of time this has been opened it is transforming. Wow this finish might be longer than the Hengelberg. It keeps pushing and pushing. Wow this keeps getting more elegant and integrated. This is so well knit. Amazingly complex and highly structured finish that pushed minerality to the nether regions of one’s palette. Amazingly juicy throughout. The nose is now very saline and slate like. I’ll be back and presume my score will be higher.
