ZV Bzenec Ego No.69 Ryzlink Vlašský 2009 výběr z hroznů

Variety: Welsh Riesling
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Wine appellation: Moravia, Mikulov sub-appellation, Perná village, Goldhamer vineyard
Vintage: 2009
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Color: light yellow
Bouquet: expressive, fresh, lime, minerality, hint of meadow flowers and honey, slight herby character at the end of the nose
Taste: medium body, very austere profile, significant minerality, lime, dry herbs, green apples, stones, very good acidity, at the very end light white grapefruit, but not unpleasant and not at all bitter, longer finish
Overall score: 4+7.5+12+7+7.5=88
Price: CZK 250
Stopper: single piece cork
Amazing WR. Very very mineral and very austere and fresh profile despite 09 being hot vintage. I can imagine the wine was probably not favorite upon release as it must have been very hard. Hopefully there is more bottles in my cellar:-)
