Dautel Estate Riesling 2019

The 2019 Riesling trocken opens with a clear, intense and smoky nose of crushed limestone, iodine and perfectly ripe Riesling aromas. Full-bodied, intense and concentrated on the palate, this is a stunningly expressive and structured wine for this price level! It is almost rich yet crystalline, elegant and refined, and the finish is seriously long and structured. This is by far the best estate wine I have ever tasted from Chris Dautel! It is stimulatingly salty and a spectacular wine at this price point! 12.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 21 20 in June 2020.
