Diesling

Heavy petrol action here.

Riesling Spatlese Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr 1999, Fritz Haag

Lots of petrol on the nose, also one hell of a lot of lemon/citrus fruit. This is lovely, but the addition of the slatey minerality makes this wine very satisfying on the nose. Cripes the palate is delicious. The intellectual tension between the acidity, fruity sweetness and minerality is freaking thrilling, man. Seriously complex, incredibly long, oozing charm and personality, this is a top bunny wine double-plus.
