Famille Hugel, Riesling Grossi Laue Brut Zero

Famille Hugel, Riesling Grossi Laue Brut ZeroThe purity of this wine is phenomenal with sliced apples, melon, minerals and hints of chalk. It's full bodied, dense, and compacted with a super finish. There is almost a saltiness on the finish. Dried fruits too such as lemons, limes and papaya. From the best parcel of the Schonenberg. Very long and incredible. Goes on for minutes. So amazing now but will age forever. I marvel in its complexity and completeness.

this blend of 72% Merlot

Aromas of dried herbs

I like the sense of finesse but this is noticeably lighter

particularly in this vintage

Given the wine's mid-weight structure I suggest drinking the 2003 sooner rather than later

I very much like the mouth feel of the middle weight plus flavors as the abundant dry extract coats the firm supporting tannin spine and pushes it to the background

dried flowers

The truth is that the wine comes through as subtle

This tightly wound effort is a middle weight in the context of the appellation yet it is an absolute knockout in every respect and particularly in terms of its perfect balance

this Maya is simply jaw-dropping
