Note di degustazione
The nose exhibits sea breeze, celery seed, sage and smoked meats, collectively suggesting positive reductive influence and triggering the salivary glands. The polished palate is brightly juicy in its fresh, tangy evocation of grapefruit and lime, while perpetuating the mouthwatering salinity and meatiness intimated on the nose. The lingering finish follows suit, for a combination of refreshment and fascination guaranteed to draw you back for repeated sips.

The 2018 Nieder-Flörsheim Frauenberg Riesling GG is clear and crunchy on the nose, very pure and stony and with bright rather than yellow fruit aromas. Concentrated yet fresh and, again, pure and with lots of salt. Very intense and tight on the silky, highly refined and purely mineral palate, this is an exciting and challenging Riesling with endless salinity and finesse but also complexity and grip. This is a great wine and certainly a long-distance runner that needs our patience. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020.
A cascade of tropical fruit, ranging from pineapple to jack fruit to mangoes, suddenly veers into smoky territory with lots of honeysuckle and dried cloves. Thereâs quite a lot of butterscotch and curry paste. The palate is dense and very phenolic, but thereâs just enough acidity to handle it. Lots of nuts and praline on the finish. Drink in 2021.
The nose is pleased by a fragrance combining floral, fruity and spicy elements. On the palate the fruit of sweet mirabelle opens the degustatory performance, dried herbs adding a bit of piquancy, before stony minerality takes over the finish. Very rich mouthfeel, particularly as acidity is a little on the tame side. (MS)
