Sauvignon Blanc Zieregg Reserve IZ
-- Parker: Tement's spectacular 2012 Ried Zieregg Sauvignon Blanc Reserve IZ (with a bit of Morillon and Pinot Blanc) displays an intensely golden-yellow color and opens with a deep, perfectly ripe and spicy bouquet with stunning purity and finesse. Full-bodied, intense and very salty, this is a rich, powerful, substantial, enormously salty and firmly structured wine with great complexity and length. Kept on the skins for around 100 days, the wine was aged for four and a half years on the full lees in a 700-liter barrel and two Burgundian pièces and another six months in stainless steel before the bottling in mid-2018. This wine has great structure, but it also still has some leathery, animal flavors. It's a highly challenging but also promising wine that needs some years to shine. Tasted July 2018. 97/100
