Julian Haart Riesling Piesporter Schubertslay Reserve 2016

Parsley root, carnation, and a thread of white fruit open this Schubertslay Reserve with quiet authority. The nose is herbal and precise, more garden than orchard. On the palate, the wine carries surprising density for its frame, mineral-driven and tightly-knit, with a residual sweetness that integrates cleanly into the whole. Extended lees aging has smoothed any rough edges, leaving floral lift and subtle richness in easy balance.
