Weingut Lanius Knab – Engehöller Bernstein Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 2010 – Mittelrhein

Very bright, but yet with a quite deep golden nuance, rather viscous texture. Very intense, I mean this is really showing a lot of intensity, obviously high ripeness, high level of sweetness, but at the same time it is really pure, very mineral we have some slate and stone in there. With a wealth of ripe yellow fruit, apricot, peach, honey. Hard to resist this actually. I really like this, it is a very anxious texture. High level of sweetness, but so well integrated by a beautiful freshness. Really mouth-watering, digest. With a great deal of complexity. It is still a youthful wine. I just adore this delicious yellow fruit. We got everything in there; mango, peach, pineapple, plenty of it, and yet we have a presence of stony minnerality, slate. A tremendously long anxious finish. Bloody good stuff.
