2012 Wegeler Doctor Riesling Trocken "Grosses Gewächs"

Post by djewesbury »

Drunk at the Wegeler winery in Bernkastel with Norbert Breit on 12th August 2014.

The nose has crisp lemons. In the mouth a very rich structure, the fruit is coated with minerality, the acidity well balanced. AW77 felt that the acidity was too subdued; I disagreed, and wouldn't like it to be more sharp.

I found this note in my little black book: "has a lot of body, but lacks acidity, this is a great wine, but not really my cup of tea".
