Kreuznach Erste Lage Riesling Kahlenberg

A clean, composed Riesling with all the right moves - stone fruits, citrus zest, yellow apple, and a floral lift that's almost springlike. There's a dusting of white pepper, a trace of honey, and that classic wet stone feel beneath it all. Bone-dry and juicy, with a subtle saltiness and a touch of oiliness that gives weight to the mid-palate. It's precise and elegant, but somehow a little aloof - complex, yes, but not particularly expressive just yet. Slight bitterness on the finish is interesting though. Feels like something waiting to come into focus.
