Bott Frères Riesling Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé

gold colored. nose showing honey, apple, pineapple, mango, and a bit of herb. full bodied with medium plus acidity. rich tropical fruit flavors with glycerine and stone. the richness engulfs any alcoholic heat and it goes to mint on the long finish. good now with more development to come. an excellent bottle at the price point. 1500 notes- woo!
