Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese 2016 Touriga Franca

Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese 2016 Touriga FrancaMore of that herbal fumy wild ferment aroma here. Rich, honeyed and generous on the palate, though the richness of fruit is in complete harmony with the acidity. Viscous and wonderfully gentle even with the bright, enlivening acidity. Almost therapeutic in its comforting but lively character. Julia Harding, jancisrobinson. com (17)

hints of singed leather and spice

Very approachable right now with smooth tannins

There's also a delicate smokiness and lots of tertiary meaty

This interesting expression of Cabernet from the Caserta area has a bright and fruity nose

Lots of class and quality making

Great balance and lots of grainy tannins

comparing it to the 2012

smoothness

Tuscany lives

fermented in tronconic wooden vats using natural yeasts after a brief cold maceration

But there is an earthy minerality and bright acidity that brings harmony

The palate is rich but beautifully defined balance and grace
