Kruger-Rumpf Munsterer Pittersberg Riesling Trocken

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1901

Fresh lime and cherry on the nose of Kruger-Rumpf’s 2008 Munsterer Pittersberg Riesling trocken – tank-raised, where the corresponding Grosses Gewachs matured in cask – put me in mind of the Saar. Firm, bright, and somewhat austere on the palate – an impression reinforced by adamant stoniness – it nevertheless retains sufficient juicy primary fruit to refresh and enough interchange of mineral, citrus, and pit fruit elements to remain interesting. It will doubtless remain fresh for at least half a dozen years, but whether it will be worth hanging on to I find hard to say. The Rumpfs seem in 2008 to have had to struggle less to avoid the greenness that was observed in certain of their 2007s. “There was just nothing you could do this year,” comments Georg Rumpf, “except let the fruit hang a long time on the vine.”Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
