Balbach
Niersteiner Rosenberg Rheinhessen Riesling
Rheinhessen, Germany
This is a wonderful aged Riesling from Germany. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel. Light and buttery at the same time.
Off dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, diesel, tropical fruits, minerals, white pepper, sea salt, mangoes and pineapples.
Needs 30 minutes to open up properly and bring out all that complexity on the nose.
This 41 year old is well balanced with nice acidity to balance out the sugars. Refreshing when properly chilled.
So delicious 😋
I paired it with some seafood appetizers, and especially loved it with the spicy Tuna.
9.5% alcohol by volume.
700ml bottle.
93 points.

On its last legs but still showing a broad spectrum of flavors. Any wine that can smell like jalapeno at one time and wet dog later with lemon-lime at other times, and you still love it throughout is pretty damn good.
