Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Auslese, Maximin Grünhaus - Weingut der Familie von Schubert 2007

The 2007 Maximin Grunhauser Abtsberg Riesling Auslese blends lemon and grapefruit with peaches and cream for a harmonious, caressing yet refreshing performance full of subtly savory, spicy, and stony mineral notes. This displays the sort of elegance and balance for which the name "Grunhaus" has so long stood, and I anticipate the quarter-century or more of positive evolution that could also be taken for granted from this estate at Auslese level from the late '70s to the late '90s.
