Pur de Roche Alsace Riesling Sec

Last bottle I had was corked, but this one is pristine, and it’s very, very good. The nose features a whole spectrum of mineral notes: petrol, a geologist’s knapsack full of different crushed stones. In the mouth, it’s intensely flavorful. Big whack of bitter-tinged apple and pear in the mouth initially, followed by intense liquid minerality and levitated by nice acids. Very nice length. Pur de Roche indeed.

Very slightly corked, but not enough to make it undrinkable. But if you can put that aside, it’s very nice. Youthful ripe crisp appley scent mingle with clean stoney minerality. Crisp and zingy in the mouth. Bone dry. Very refreshing!
