點擊次數：1422

A palpably dense yet (for its genre) surprisingly buoyant Diel 2010 Burg Layer Schlossberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs retains a satisfying primary juiciness of apple and citrus to perfectly complement its strongly chalky stoniness and undertone of nut oils, while saliva-inducing salinity renders its long, energetic finish compellingly enticing of the next sip. This attractively lean but by no means hard or ungracious Riesling ought to be worth pursuing for at last 6-8 years. While her famous father Armin naturally continues as a trusted advisor, it is evident in conversation as well from continued adjustments in methodology that Caroline Diel is settling into her role as hands-on manager of this great estate, clearly positioning it as one of those lucky enough to receive the special benefits and blessings that can accrue to felicitous multi-generational collaboration. Selective double-salt de-acidification was performed here in 2010 – occasionally even in lots destined for residually sweet wines – and skin contact encouraged. Alcohol levels for this year’s Grosse Gewachse are in the moderate, 12.5-13% range.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
