High-toned suggestions of mint, basil, and other herbal essences in distilled form mingle and rise from the glass of Diel’s 2010 Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Grosses Gewachs, then saturate a satin-textured palate, with fruit pit and toasted nut piquancy as well as palpable chalkiness adding interest, while a juicy fundament of peach and citrus persists through a refreshingly persistent, animatedly interactive, and coolingly cleansing finish. This offers admirably and unusually generous early appeal for a Riesling of its genre and I suspect it will sustain interest – not to mention delight – over the better part of a decade. 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
