Barmès-Buecher Riesling Hengst Grand Cru 2023

Aged in demi-muid, this Hengst Grand Cru announces itself boldly — candied orange peel, mandarin zest, and a ripe, almost fleshy concentration on the nose. The palate is dense and tightly wound, with plenty of restrained force, but a vivid saline spine cuts through the richness with real precision and keeps everything honest. Bone-dry and commanding.
