Meyer-Fonné
Kaefferkopf Grand Cru Riesling
Stunner. Beautiful summer orchard fruit, peaches, apricot, some mint. Has so much texture, almost chewy, with delicate white tea phenolics, and then the subtle sweetness is perfectly balanced by acid and minerals. Some great development starting and a nice saltiness too. What have I been missing in Alsace? 9.5+
