René Fleck – Riesling 2014 – Alsace Grand Cru Zinnkoepflé

The nose is fruity, rich, slightly intense and slightly incisive. It reveals notes of ripe yellow fruits and ripe citrus (lemon, mandarin) associated with small touches of ripe pineapple, apricot as well as touches of spices. The palate is fruity, gourmand, well-balanced and offers a beautiful juiciness, a slight straightness, tension, finesse, elegance, a beautiful suavity as well as a slight mineral frame/juicy fruits. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, ripe mandarin, ripe pineapple and juicy vine peach associated with a discreet hint of apricot, apple as well as hints of racy minerality, honey and spices. Good length and persistence.
