textural density and general ripeness on display in this wine

The 2022 Kevin John Chardonnay leads with chamomile tea

and the wine matured with fine lees in those barrels and also in some foudres for eight months

Here too there is background oak treatment that frames the admirably pure and cool red pinot fruit

attractively fresh and ripe nose offers up notes of both red and dark currant

Dr. Loosen, Erdener Pralat Riesling GG Reserve other_regions_italy textural density and general ripenessEnormous power and concentration, but every bit as much finesse. Hard to wrap your head around this monumental yet refined wine. The elegance is extraordinary for this super warm vintage, Lovely mango fruit, but this is not a bit loud. Then comes an extraordinary minerality in the incredibly long finish. Drink or hold.
