Peter Mertes Gold Edition Bernkastel-Kueser Riesling 2010 Kabinett

Variety: Riesling

Country of origin: Germany
Wine appellation: Mosel
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol content: 10.0%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: very gentle, hint of lime, dead nettle flowers, slight benzin tones
Taste: light to medium body, very zesty and limey, hint of lemon crust, perfect acidity from cold 2010 vintage, slightly austere fruit (no bad, actually nice),  medium to longer finish
Recommended food pairing: trout
Overall score: 5+8+11+6+7=87
Price: CZK 200
Stopper: single piece cork
Very nice Riesling from extremely difficult 2010 vintage, if it had more body and mid profile it would be perfect. what I like is the fact that although from difficult vintage it was not overripened to lower the acidity as was often the case in Moravia. Fantastic value wine.
