Schatzel • Riesling Olberg GG - 2018
The 2018 Ölberg Riesling GG offers a pure, fresh and slightly stony yet also fruity bouquet of a fully ripe Riesling. Charmingly round and fruity on the palate, this is a full-bodied, silky-textured, elegant and refined dry Riesling with character and a lingering ripe-fruit expression and stimulating grip that adds freshness but not unripeness. Tasted in May 2020.
Trimbach • Riesling 390th Anniversary - 2016
A one-off blend, all from grands crus.
On the lighter side for a grand cru, with subtle lime and herbal characters, beeswax and a touch of slate. There's good flavour intensity, suggesting the wine will open with air and/or time in bottle. Not the most immediate crowd-pleaser, but it is classic, savoury Riesling with impeccable pedigree. (RH)
