Clemens Busch, Riesling Trocken, 2016

"The nose here is so bright in its evocation of lemon and grapefruit that you almost need sunglasses - and such prominent, brisk acidity as this displays in the mouth is also unusual in a Busch collection, where a share of malolactic transformation is frequently present, including here. The feel is silken. An undertone of wet stone, along with piquant citrus peel and walnut accents, pulls in a slightly austere direction. But tangy, satisfyingly persistent juiciness on the long finish renders this impressively concentrated and well-stuffed yet alcoholically Iightweight ( at 10.5%) bottling fun to drink already. (This is sourced largely from Pünderich sites other than the Marienburg, which obviously hasn't compromised quality.) "
