| Notes | "The aromatic tang of ripe lemon peel plays on the nose. The palate is pervaded by the same refreshing zestiness, shimmering with cheerful citrus brightness amidst riper notions of pear and peach. This is mouth-watering stuff, almost addictive with its dry zesty finish." (Wine Enthusiast) | |||
Additional Notes "The 2015 Riesling Les Princes Abbés opens with a clear and aromatic bouquet of super ripe and dried white fruits. On the palate the wine is as intense as it is pure and fresh. It is a lean but aromatic style of dry Riesling with a stimulatingly salty finish. Very good quality at this price point." (Wine Advocate) "This light-bodied white offers flavors of green apple, slate, anise and star fruit, with a tangy frame of acidity." (Wine Spectator) " Lemon zest, herbs and a faint metallic nuance on the nose. Juicy and fresh, displaying firm underlying mineral character to the flavors of lemon, licorice and white flowers. Not in an especially intense style but nicely penetrating." (Ian D'Agata, Vinous) |
