WTN - Nomen est omen

2015 Reichsrat Von Buhl Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Großes Gewächs
Nomen est omen - what a monster in terms of energy and complexity!
Drink this for a try after heavy reads and you'll be fully awake after the very first sip.
On the nose it has the freshness and purity of a glacier, supplemented by transcendant hints of white blossoms, passion fruit, lime, white grapefruit and mineral notes.
The palate is just too much for me in terms of energy, sublime fruit, acidity, subtle tannins and breath-taking overall freshness and complexity. My subjective rating: 95++/100.

Cheers, Rainer

We have the 2014 of this here, and I've been eying it - did you try that vintage and if so what did you think?

I did try the 2014, too. It's a cooler vintage, the fruit is less expressive but the structure is amazing. It depends on what you like. If you go for fruit and early drinking pleasure I'd go for the 2015. If you want something for the long-run (10+ years) you might be better served with the 2014.
