The Burklin-Wolf 2006 Forster Kirchenstuck Riesling trocken GC exhibits site-typical ripe peach and musky, decadent floral nuances. Voluminously rich and rounded on the palate, its creaminess of texture is enhanced by the effect of malo-lactic transformation, and the hint of spice and lanolin conveyed by a new-ish cask is also quite synergistic. Polished and satisfying in length, this manages to retain the element of intrigue one expects of Kirchenstuck and that piques one’s curiosity to revisit this wine over the next 7-9 years.
Transparent. Gentle texture and really nice balance. So user friendly! The acid is not too obtrusive. All is in beautiful balance. Maybe it’s surprising that it is already so much fun to drink but I say bravo! Long. The only reservation about this wine is that it is already so attractive... but probably this means that the acidity is in good balance. (JR)
