24 months in bottle fermentation

This wine is a rather strong

Give it a year or two to come together

Sweet and penetrating in the mouth

and I suspect it has another 50-60 years of prime drinking

2022 Riesling Ried Steinertal F.X. PICHLER 2019 24 months in bottle fermentationSuckling 99 points: This dry riesling has gigantic concentration, but also gigantic elegance and finesse. Still a little shy on the nose, but this has been made to age for decades. Delicate notes of white peach, pink grapefruit and mountain herbs in the nose, then on the palate also hints of licorice and white chocolate. However, the most extraordinary thing about the wine is the mind blowing stony intensity at the extremely focused and salty finish.
