slightly pithy bouquet with fresh pear and lime flower notes

as it is quite reticent at this stage

it is one of the all-time profound La Mission-Haut-Brions

2014 Dreissigacker Riesling Trocken Rheinhessen and extravagant richnessRendered in stainless steel from a mixture of estate and purchased Bechtheim Riesling, this compares very favorably with its slightly bulkier and more severe 2013 counterpart. White peach and grapefruit are tinged with mint and tarragon on a silky, polished palate, leading to a satisfyingly and refreshingly persistent finish. What there is of pit and pip bitterness enhances the wine's invigorating character. (DS)
