Bernhard 2020 Frei-Laubersheimer Kirchberg Riesling Auslese trocken
A return to the form of the much-missed 2017 vintage, this wine holds its own in the most elevated company. The nose is deep and smoky, but contrives to show its tender side, too. On the palate, it is imposing but never weighty. This is the miracle of Riesling in Germany.
