2017 Domaine Barmes Buecher Steingrubler Riesling Grand Cru,Alsace

Medium yellow colour, showing some development; there is the beginning of toast on the nose, too. Wax and straw aromas, beeswax as well as candle wax, poached apricot/fruit compote also, the barrel contact evident in the savouriness and palate texture. There is also muted varieal character as a result: the wine is complex and talks about more than simple varietal fruit. Delicious, sweetly ripe fruit and mild, harmonious acidity.12.5%
