Zind Humbrecht 2019 Riesling Roche Calcaire 750ml

Pale gold colour with light green aspect. At first, the nose is tight and begs for aeration. Typical of limestone, but also magnified by an 18 months full lees contact, the ‘youth’ reduction will require some decanting to allow the wine to express citrus aromatics. With age, the mineral/stony flavours will gradually become stronger. The palate shows impeccable structure, very dry but with a saline coating texture, not really powerful but long. The finish shows a fine grain touch which makes it very salivating and easy to drink. Worth keeping, it will develop gradually in a beautiful racy Riesling.
