Famille Hugel, Riesling Grossi Laue Brut Zero dried flowers

This tightly wound effort is a middle weight in the context of the appellation yet it is an absolute knockout in every respect and particularly in terms of its perfect balance

I like the sense of finesse but this is noticeably lighter

Given the wine's mid-weight structure I suggest drinking the 2003 sooner rather than later

Famille Hugel, Riesling Grossi Laue Brut Zero dried flowersThe purity of this wine is phenomenal with sliced apples, melon, minerals and hints of chalk. It's full bodied, dense, and compacted with a super finish. There is almost a saltiness on the finish. Dried fruits too such as lemons, limes and papaya. From the best parcel of the Schonenberg. Very long and incredible. Goes on for minutes. So amazing now but will age forever. I marvel in its complexity and completeness.
