My first try of this Piesport producer, this wine from the great first growth “Domherr” vineyard. 7.5% A/V. The bright light gold colour is followed by a heavily sulphured bouquet that persists even with extended swirling and plenty of air time just sitting in the glass, virtually swamping whatever fruit that may be waiting underneath. Bummer! Eventually, I was able to coax some beautiful honeyed, slaty peach and nectarine fruit - four hours after the wine was opened. Thankfully the palate is a thing of great beauty and deserves special commendation, dancing in the mouth with a melange of perfectly-judged, ripe stone and citrus fruits of white peach, nectarine, pear, orange, crisp green apple and a touch of redcurrant. Displaying great purity and immaculate weight, the balancing mineral-laden acidity provides the perfect foil to the wonderful sweet fruit, leaving this taster begging for more after every sip. With a crisp, long, authoritative finish that coats the mouth this wine may just need extra bottle age for the sulphur found in the nose to peter out for something very special to emerge. The palate is truly Outstanding and worthy of any German Riesling fan’s attention. 91 points for now. I’ll leave the other bottle in the cellar for several years and hopefully my prayers (for the bouquet to improve) may be answered. Drink 2011-2018.
