Soft Cheese

Medium yellow, delicate toasty, smoky and honey aromas, followed by grapefruit pineapple, and pears, with peppery spicy tines of herbs and fir tree, at the beginning soft and silky, then sappy and powerful, tightly structured, multilayered, with a firm grip and exotic fruit on the palate, pineapples and citrus fruits, appetizing extract sweetness, well-balanced, very good length and a soft, mineral peppery finish, very good aging potential.

Der Riesling Bundsandstein von Frank John ist im großen Holzfass spontan vergoren, mit anschließendem langen Hefekontakt. In der Nase sehr frisch für den reifen Jahrgang, etwas Grapefruitzeste, florale Anklänge und eine dezente Kräuterwürze, ganz zarter weißer Pfirsich und etwas Heu im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen zuerst etwas weich und schmelzig, wird dann aber gleich deutlich straffer, die zarte Mineralik und die sehr fein ziselierte Säure verleihen ihm viel Druck. Sehr harmonischer und ausdrucksstrarker Riesling der durch seine komplexität und feinnervigkeit glänzt. [CB Jg. 2013]

Medium yellow, peaches and pineapple roasted almonds and honey as well as mineral flavors, complex, yet still very young on the nose, very concentrated and rich in extract, full-bodied and potent but balanced with fresh acidity and extract, pineapple dried abricots and white peaches on the palate very opulent and powerful though pure and precise, excellent grip, very long spicy and mineral finish, and again great potential.
