Pale straw-yellow. Very deep aromas of apple cider, stone fruits, jasmine and loam aromas are perked up by lemon and lime nuances. Big, deep and dense but with bracing acidity giving shape to the licorice and loam flavors. The long finish features hits of pear compote and pepper and a repeating suggestion of apple cider.

The 2012 Riesling Grand Cru Geisberg is very clear, stony and lemon-fresh on the intense yet still somewhat untamed nose where almost Mediterranean herbal flavours are displayed. Very elegant and dense on the palate, with ripe fruit flavours this Geisberg has tension and concentration and a long and promising finish but is still somewhat closed at the moment.
