🏰 The 2016 A. Christmann Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling GG is a stunning Grosses Gewächs, praised for being 【at once rich, yet cool and pristine, with a seriously mineral finish that is very long and complex】. The 2016 German vintage was generally good despite a damp start, with a cool and dry winter. Tasting notes reveal ripe juicy pear, luscious tropical fruit, intense lemon acidity, wet stone, and a slight saltiness, with a long-lasting finish. Some expressions show pear, citrus, light flowers, and a hint of petroleum on the nose. 🍴 This versatile Riesling is a superstar for food pairing, excelling with pork dishes like sausages and roasted pork, as its acidity cuts through fattiness. It's also an excellent partner for nearly all types of seafood, from delicate fish fillets to rich, buttery shellfish, grilled shrimp, scallops, and sushi. For cheese lovers, it pairs wonderfully with creamy, tangy cheeses like goat cheese, or even salty, dry hard cheeses like aged gouda. 🥂 This wine can age for a couple of decades, but is already in a nice first drinking window and very enjoyable, though it benefits from air.
