Riesling Grand Cru Kessler - 2013
This is a dense and mineral Grand Cru Riesling. It’s powerful on the nose, with aromas of lemon, orange, tropical fruit, verbena, acacia, and mint. Supported by elegant acidity, this is a supremely age-worthy bottle. Riesling Grand Cru Kessler is dense, taut, crisp, mineral with a very long mouthfeel. Powerful bouqet of lemon, orange, tropical fruits, verbena, acacia and mint. The acidity is elegant and the complexity is extreme. This wine can age for a very long period.
