Schlossgut Diel Dorsheimer Burgberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Nahe, Germany 2019 Catena Alta dark fruit and orange peelA very serious dry riesling! Deep nose of lemon curd and lime marmalade with hints of pie crust and lemon blossom. In spite of just 12. 5% alcohol, this has an imposing structure and makes a bold statement on the palate. Very long, dark and mineral finish with a touch of candied lemon. Drink or hold. 97 Pts James Suckling
