Tasting notes
Intense tropical fruit aromas and a bitter quinine finish. Very chewy end at the moment. Very much a long distance runner but all the elements are buried in there. Very exciting and tense yet superripe too. Cellar for many a year. (JR)

Aromas of lilacs, slate and dried apple follow through to a medium body with vivid flavors and intense fruit and citrus at the finish. Tight and exciting. Better in a couple years to come together but rejoice in its youthful vigor. Drink now. Made from organically grown grapes. Demeter approved.
The 2014 Riesling Grand Cru Vorbourg Clos Saint Landelin comes from the lower hillside of the south-facing Saint Landelin hillside, where the vines never suffer from drought due to the deep clay and limestone soils. Deep, pure and intense on the smoky nose, the wine is rich and intense but elegant, highly complex and really powerful on the palate. It is rich and pure at the same time, a mouthful of complex Riesling with remarkable finesse and mineral expression. A great Riesling from this Grand Cru.
