2019 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett Maximin Grünhaus, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel Fine Wines - 2019 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett, Maximin Grünhaus

The 2019er Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a comparatively big yet nicely engaging nose made of elderflower, white peach, cassis, cream, and chalky minerals, all wrapped into some more herbal and spicy notes of tea, cardamom, and mint. The wine develops the creaminess of a Spätlese on the palate but proves gorgeously alluring in the juicy and zesty finish. A sense of sweetness still needs to integrate in the aftertaste, something which will have happened in a decade or so. This gorgeous sweet wine offers great complexity underlined by an engaging yet creamy and delicately opulent structure. We would not be surprised if it would exceed our high rating at maturity once the early sense of sweetness has receded. 2029-2049 - Juni 2020
