Leon Beyer Riesling "Comtes Des Eguisheim" - 750ml

Robert Parker

Medium yellow. Deep but reticent aromas of smoke, stone fruits and quinine, with a suggestion of talc emerging with air. Densely packed and vibrant, with sharply delineated flavors of citrus peel, crushed stone and oyster shell. Gives a drier, more austere impression than the 2009, but there's plenty of flavor intensity here-and more energy. An exotic suggestion of papaya appeared with some aeration. Very long on the back end.
