Parker about Morstein Riesling Grand Cru 2007
The 2007 Westhofener Morstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs smells of narcissus; a Chenin-like alliance of quince and snuffed candle wick; iodine and salts, along with other, ineffable mineral and animal elements. Fresh lime, tomatilla, and apricot on the palate are zesty, piquant, yet refreshing, and the finish here is at once invigorating yet cool and refined, not to mention shimmering in its elusively but strikingly mineral way. For elegance, clarity, interplay, and sheer mystery, this is hard to beat. I would plan to follow this over the coming 12-15 years.

This Riesling presents itself with a captivating golden color in the glass, a visual testament to its maturity and depth.
