Zind-Humbrecht Riesling ‘Roche Roulee’, Alsace

The nose shows a classic combination of light citrus fruits and a complex stony/mineral influence, almost unusual for this cuve. This vintage shows a remarkable balance and structure on the palate. It will certainly age longer, and with a youthful personality, compared to previous vintages. The mouth is quite concentrated, with a surprising firm acidity that brings salivation and a very clean dry finish.
