Rheinhessen, Germany
Christophe insisted I taste sweet wines in 19 they were so spectacular. He’s not wrong. What a wine. Spectacular nose of papaya, guava and mango with gorgeous peach and minerals. Stunning herbal streak. Wow that palate. Energetic, pure, sappy and sweet but balanced by rip roaring acidity and insanely purity and balance. What balance. Sick wine. Herbal nose after some air. Terrific. This is sweet Riesling 102 from a brilliant vintage. Palate is cleansing and sweet but buffered by incredible acids and freshness. Finishes gamey and dry. Great concentration and purity. So good on a hot day like today. This is drink me now Riesling crack.
