Richard Bocking, Mosel (Germany) Riesling 2016

 I wish more wines like this one came through my inbox.  Of course, such events may lead to distraction during review sessions, since this wine made me stop what I was doing for personal refreshment purposes.  Tasting fresh as a daisy with over four years since harvest, it’s very expressive of what you expect in Riesling, like lemon, lime and tart apple, and adds interest with subtle layers of tropical fruit and a stony minerality that knits it all together.  If you haven’t had the pleasure of aged Riesling, get some of this to drink now, and some to drink ten years from now – it’s a worthy candidate.
