2015 Jesuitengarten Riesling GG

Much more opulent nose than its counterparts from other addresses. Still a few fermentation aromas around, plus some lemon barley water. I wonder whether they are making a very long-term style, which is why their Freundstück shown this year was a 2014? (JR)

The 2015 (Forster) Jesuitengarten GG opens golden-yellow in color, though still cloudy. It is deep, ripe, rich and with mealy, crushed-stone flavors and lemon aromas. Full-bodied, round and piquant on the palate, this is a very elegant and salty Riesling. The wine has power and a ripe, intense and aromatic fruit. However, it does not have the depth, complexity, and incredible purity and tension of the Pechstein—and even not of the Ungeheuer, at this stadium.
