Carl Loewen Detzemer Maximiner Klosterlay Riesling

Quite oily with a rich mouthfeel and a phenolic bite at the end. Apricots, white peach. Some ginger notes. There's some quite prominent oak notes to this wine with the lees contact adding to that as well. Briny, big boned and baroque. Tracked over the following 2 days. There was a bit of improvement on day 3, with it softening and rounding out some and gaining a bit more citrus fruit, but overall this is not doing it for me …

Pale straw color, clean nose of flint,lemon/lime citrus and tangy peach. Taste delivers intensity, verve, lime, peach and mineral and strong acidity. nice long high toned finish. Could use a couple years to tone down and seems like it will improve and the fruit will open up.

This is a very nice “dry” Riesling. On the palate, it has notes of flint, stone fruit, lemon/lime, good minerality, balanced acidity and a medium finish. It sort of tastes as if there is some residual sugar, but it is close to dry.
