Clevner Alte Reben
Germany
Very rich for laible. A bit petrolly. A tad spicy. Big fruit for laible. Great with a rich dish. The minerals are there but in the background. Bought from fass selections

@Delectable Wine - This is not a Riesling. Clevner is the grape varietal.
This Klevner- which I believe is a forefather of Gewurztraminer - is really good. This nose has some of that Gewurz-like lychee but underpinning it is a jagged base of crushed rocks. A bit of fresh hay and apricot pit too. Flavorful and oily-textured yet remarkably weightless. Pure and lively finish. Very nice!

Another @delectable database issue. this is the 2015 Riesling Alte Reben. Please add to db. A stunning wine. Barely entering drinking window. Really took off on day 2.
