Von Schubert, Maximin Grunhauser Abtsberg Riesling Spatlese Size:12x750ml The exceptionally rich and powerful

The exceptionally rich and powerful large-scaled flavors brim with palate staining dry extract that imparts a seductive but also borderline chewy texture to the explosive and still very tightly wound finish

While the finish does flirt with rusticity

and the wine will need more time to flesh out and soften with cellar aging

both bottles were from the same case I purchased upon release

There is excellent intensity to the caressing and lightly mineral-infused flavors that exhibit very fine length on the lemony and austere finish where the only reproach to speak of is a touch of warmth
