Jacky Blot Domaine de la Taille aux Loups Montlouis Brut Tradition, Loire, France NV Red Blend the 2018 Riesling Federspiel Dürnstein

the 2018 Riesling Federspiel Dürnstein is intensely fruity and concentrated on the nose where ripe white stone-fruit aromas intermix with spicy aromas

and I suspect it will have a similar evolution

it needs a good decade of cellaring

with super silky tannins and savory fruit and amazing flavors of fine leather

akin to a bespoke garment revealing its perfection in every detail

Jacky Blot Domaine de la Taille aux Loups Montlouis Brut Tradition, Loire, France NV Red Blend the 2018 Riesling Federspiel DürnsteinA rich, decadent sparkler, with a beautiful array of warm apple and lemon meringue expertly lined with seashell minerality and salty brine. The creamy palate is mouthfilling and veers just off dry, enlivened by a zing of orange peel acidity and crushed stone. Expressive and balanced, with buttery brioche ringing on the full finish.
