Manfred Bickelmaier 2016 Oestricher Lenchen Kabinett

Riesling (Rheingau)

This gold-inflected Kabinett has impressively ripe overtones yet has resounding bass notes of sand, beech wood and hay. Given the rather neutral nose, the palate brings on an unexpected overture of sweetness bringing fierceness with a distinctly pure and heady freshness driven by peaches, apples and pastry dough essences. There’s a profound depth of fruit and flavor concentration that carries the wine into a long finish. This is ready now but has the bandwidth to age at length. Drink now–2023
