Reichsrat Von Buhl
Deidesheimer Kieselberg Grosses Gewächs Riesling
Pfalz, Germany
A late release from 2014, kept on the lees longer and hit the market only in 2019. Aged in new Rousseau barrels.
Beautiful aromatic evolved nose, creamy, waxy with yellow peach and pink grapefruit, bergamot, but also a herby, savoury stony whiff. Complex, rich yet not sweet, very inviting. And it keeps evolving.
On the palate this is a very Burgundian Riesling, nice creamy mouthfeel, the wood adding a layer of richness yet the lemony acidity cuts through brilliantly and keeps the total bone dry & impeccably balanced.
Ripe yellow fruit, hint of woodland honey, a touch of toasted sesame. All the evolved Riesling cues, with a touch of opulence and w/o the slightly bitter note that sometimes lingers in aged bottles.
This is a very, very nice wine & quite serious, too!
