2017 Josmeyer Hengst Grand Cru Riesling:  a colour of pale yellow with a slightly green hue; a bouquet of peaches, ripe pears, and - increasing with oxygenation - Meyer lemons. 

On the palate: green herbal flavours with hints of peach blossoms and honey; it is juicy with minerals in the background.  The wine is rich, intense, displaying a good texture, with a finish of 40 seconds.

This delicious growth is fruity and at the same time dry with a beautiful balance. It is rare  rare to find such a Riesling that expresses such a broad range of flavours so convincingly.   A Grand Cru Riesling of extraordinary qualities.  It should be at its peak about now or in a couple of years; drink - 2028.   4.5/5
