Louis Guntrum 2006 Dry Riesling

Rather full and round in the mouth – the combined effect of 12.5% alcohol and a touch of (0.6%) of residual sugar- this nevertheless does taste pretty dry. It’s a minerally version, with smoky minerality and powdered – almost liquefied – stone notes fleshed out by hints of tangerine and peach.
