2010 Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Hengst
Producer: Domaine Barmes-Buecher
Style: White Wine
Grape Type: Riesling
Origin: France
Region: Alsace
93 Points | International Wine Cellar , September 2012
Bright straw-yellow with gold highlights; slightly deeper than the Steingrubler. Fresh, piercing aromas of ripe citrus, sweet brown spices, acacia honey and licorice complicate candied apricot and canned pineapple notes. At once big and juicy, with zippy acidity nicely framing the rich, honeyed tropical fruit flavors. Dense and very long, finishing with more refinement and class than the other rieslings at this address. This year Genevieve Barmes-Buecher served the Hengst before the Steingrubler because the latter riesling has more residual sugar.
