The 2017 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Riesling Praepositus is a little slow to open, owing its fruit from a hot and not always easy vintage. The bouquet shows honey, Golden Delicious apple and pear. The wine's bouquet is still far from full bloom, but you do get some brief diesel fumes with aniseed or licorice. There is a touch of latex rubber too. The finish is a bit flat in this vintage, but I wonder if this will clean up with time. Some 10,000 bottles were made.
