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

From cask, this delivers a fruit-dominated nose of ripe pear and white peach, allied to alluringly high-toned bittersweetness of almond and pistachio extracts. Pit and seed piquancy lend counterpoint on a lush, silken palate, where a flood of lemon and lime offers startling invigoration and sheer refreshment, while a dose of mineral salts sets the salivary glands to palpitating. Here is another instance of a Bürklin-Wolf 2016 whose long-lasting finish conveys a startling sense of energy. - David Schildknecht, Jun. 2018
