with purple rims

With a juicy apple flavor and hints of vanilla and caramel

But it lacks some zest and energy

Dry and a little tight on the palate

WEINBACH RIESLING GRAND CRU SCHLOSSBERG CUVE SAINTCATHERINE 2018 Bottle:12 with purple rimsOne of the wines of this challenging vintage in Alsace, this is a masterpiece of concentrated minerality, but also has a seductive, kaleidoscopic array of yellow and exotic fruit aromas (most obviously pured peach). Tons of structure, but this is already so beautifully interwoven into the palate that it simply adds textural complexity at the very long finish.
