Reichsrat Von Buhl
Forster Ungeheuer Riesling
Pfalz, Germany
Medium + lemon yellow in colour. Aromas of yellow fruits (peach) with a honeyed note. Carries through to the medium + intensity palate with a certain texture from the oak maturation. As outlined in previous notes putting Riesling to oak doesn’t seem right although it is more integrated than previous tastings, but it is an old German thing - arguably the Godfathers of Riesling. Impossible not to like this. The GG quality coming through. Ready to drink. Had my last bottle 132 weeks later on 15th August 2026. Colour has become a darkish yellow. The wine is delicious. The GG class shows through.
