Riesling Reserve Zöbinger Heiligenstein Alte Reben trocken 2015

Parker über: Riesling Reserve Zöbinger Heiligenstein Alte Reben trocken

-- Parker: I tasted the intensely yellow colored 2015 Zöbinger Heiligenstein 1ÖTW Riesling Alte Reben two times this year—in mid-March 2017 in my home office and at the end of June at the domaine. In March, the wine displayed a clear and intense yet refined bouquet of ripe Riesling and white seed fruits intermixed with elegant spicy/earthy and even straw aromas. Full-bodied, firm and mineral on the palate, this is an elegant, beautifully pure, finessed and enormously salty Heiligenstein with good grip and mineral tension in the herbal flavored finish. Great balance and tension here. Very rich and almost sweet in the aftertaste! Huge aging potential! In late June 2017, the wine showed a super intense, rich and concentrated bouquet of ripe but refreshing lemon and lemon confit aromas intermixed with spicy aromas of crushed stones, herbs, dried white fruits and almond aromas, which echoes the warm vintage. Rich, round and powerful on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense, extract-sweet and tannic yet elegant Riesling that is even pure, fresh and salty in the finish. The finish is long, intense, very warm but also vital, finessed and salty, with a good tannin grip. This is a great wine that needs a decade to shine. 94+/100
