The 2019 Albert Boxler Grand Cru Riesling Sommerberg hails from a vintage that, despite being globally mixed, produced brilliant wines thanks to a hot summer. This particular Sommerberg is lauded as a masterpiece, showcasing remarkable explosiveness, poise, balance, and a seemingly never-ending length. It's noted for its power, concentration, and is delightfully approachable now. On the palate, expect an intense, complex, and very elegant bouquet with exceptional depth and finesse. Crystalline stone and citrus aromas lead to a rich, vibrantly fresh palate, boasting a finely racy salty-piquant acidity and lush, generous fruit that seamlessly integrates with the mineral grip, culminating in a long and intense finish. Further notes reveal hints of lemon, slatey minerality, peach, petrol, honey, grapefruit marmalade, and orange/citrus. The wine can also present notes of honey, minerals, apple, apricot, pineapple, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, acacia, elderflower, cream, oil, lemon curd, cinnamon, coriander, saffron, caramel, pastry, butter, almond, nutty, pecan, straw, gooseberry, grass, dried mango, dried fruit, and plum. 🍴 This versatile Riesling pairs beautifully with vegetarian dishes, rich fish like salmon or tuna, spicy cuisine, cured meats, and other meaty or oily fish. 🥂 【A masterpiece of explosiveness, poise, and balance with never-ending length】, this wine is excellent for starting an evening, allowing its complexity to shine without competition. It's perfect for special occasions where its depth and elegance can be fully appreciated.
