just a touch of dried pear and chamomile tisane appear on the shy nose which needs air to open. the palate already has that balm-like concentration of mature riesling which is joined by a vein of wonderful lemon-zest freshness. despite the absolute dryness of the palate there is ample, generous and deep-seated fruit: pear, apple and gorgeous tangerine. the finish is clean-cut and resonant. drink now–2030.
