Note di degustazione
Bittersweet perfume of thyme, honeysuckle and gentian is joined by scents of white peach, anticipating the welcome succulence of ripe fruit that subsequently accompanies bright, tart acidity and adamant stoniness typical of Wittmann Grosse Gewächse. The sense of inner-mouth floral perfume is quite striking, not to mention alluring. The feel is firm but polished, and a dynamically complex finish delivers lift, invigoration, consummate refreshment and mouthwatering salinity.

The 2015 Riesling La Borne Alte Reben is precise and fresh with aromas of chalk, mint and thyme on the deep and intense nose. This is a noble wine and real grand cru. Ripe and concentrated, but still precise and elegant on the nose, this has very ripe and almost dried apple aromas; there are also some herbal and smoked speck flavors. This is a full-bodied and powerful, very expressive and persistent Riesling, with lots of energy and a silky texture. Lots of salt, grip and vitality here, almost racy. Very firm and tightly woven, with a great potential to age. Incredibly tight and salty. This is an extremely mineral wine and perhaps, one day, Wittmann's 2015 icon Riesling trocken. The wine comes from a coolish plot in the higher Morstein Grand Cru named La Borne in the old times. This should be a GG, but Wittmann cannot name it after the official plot name (Oberes Brunnenhäuschen), because Brunnenhäuschen is another single vineyard that is several hundred meters away.
