Note di degustazione
Gentian and iris, white peach and grapefruit, herbal essences and green tea combine for a head-turning nose and a subtly cooling, infectiously juicy palate, unafraid to display luscious fruitiness and billowing inner-mouth floral perfume as well as scintillating, crystalline mineral shimmer and mouthwatering animal savor, here akin to toasted shrimp-shell reduction. I say “unafraid” because to taste many a Grosses Gewächs, not to mention hear them discussed inside Germany, you could easily get the impression that fruitiness and floral effusion were faults. This captures the imagination as well as the salivary glands, and at least in my case, the heart.

The 2014 Riesling Monzinger Halenberg GG displays a highly precise and elegant, coolish and flinty/stony flavor on the nose. Concentrated, juicy and with the smooth and elegant acidity again, this is still extremely young and great Halenberg with a very long and complex finish. Grown on a 70% steep slope on slate and quartzite, this finely structured Riesling is so delicate, extremely drinkable and complex, and will still be great in 15 or 20 years.
Ripe-fruited nose but bitter on the palate, and there's also a musty sourness to the finish. (RH)
