Domaine Barmès-Buecher 2013 Leimental Riesling (Alsace)

Country: France / Alsace
Variety: Riesling
Winery: Domaine Barmès-Buecher / Leimental

There is a distinct phenolic edge on this earthy, lemon-dominated and taut Riesling. Fruit—apart from citrus—is subsumed into an earthy, tense and concentrated palate. This needs more time to relax into itself and should blossom with more bottle age. Drink 2017–2020.
