2013 Justin Boxler Riesling Brand - France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru (12/13/2015)
Well Salil and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum, as I much prefer this 2013 Brand to the 2012 Sommerberg from the same producer (despite the fact that I generally prefer wines from Sommerberg). What I especially like about this wine is the depth of flavor, and that I can still peer through the depth to find a stony base. The start is quite rich (though not sweet - hooray for that!), but it ends on a very racy note of lemon zest and spice. I am a big fan of this bottle.
