2016 Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling Q.b.A. trocken Edition G.C. Dr. Bürklin-Wolf

Vinous - 2016 Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling Q.b.A. trocken Edition G.C., Dr. Bürklin-Wolf

A high-toned nose anticipates the sweet corn succulence, bittersweetly billowing floral perfume and cooling green herbal essences that materialize on a silken palate. An underlying sense of chalkiness and lovely, oily bittersweetness of orange peel and cardamom emerge on the vibrant, superbly sustained finish. For now, this can’t quite match the mystery and sheer energy of the corresponding Hohenmorgen, but it’s certainly richer and more seductive. (This is the one Bürklin-Wolf vintage 2016 G.C. offering that I did not have a chance to taste and report on prior to its bottling, which took place in December 2017.) - David Schildknecht, März 2019
