LaBorneRieslingOldVinesMagnumAuctionWine2018

<p> The <i>2018 La Borne Riesling Alte Reben</i> from Weingut Wittmann comes from a small, special plot of over 60-year-old vines planted on pure limestone soil. On the nose, it displays profound aromas of ripe yellow fruit, citrus notes, and a hint of candied lime. Smoky and chalky minerality combine with delicate herbs and subtle floral nuances. On the palate, it is powerful yet incredibly precise, with perfectly balanced acidity that maintains freshness and excitement despite the warm vintage. The salty minerality lingers on the long, vibrant finish, which concludes with ripe fruit and chalky spice. A fascinating, profound Riesling that is at its optimal drinking stage but still has further aging potential.</p>
