Vertical degustation of Cave de Beblenheim - Riesling 2007

Variety: 100% Riesling

Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Alsace
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol content: 12.0%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: intense, benzin, lemon crust in sugar, good bottle age tones
Taste: medium body,  rounder style with good bottle age character, similar to nose there is dry lemon crust, it does not feel that far from 2010 vintage tasted at the same time but slightly more oily,  at the very end hint of white grapefruit, medium to longer finish
Recommended food pairing: Schnitzel
Overall score: 4+8+10+6+7 = 85
Price: CZK 129 in 2009
Stopper: single piece cork
Out of the three Rieslings this was at the same level as 2010. it was more complex in the nose and slightly less in the taste than 2010.  I would say this is at its peak and would no longer hold. This was my last bottle of the 6 case tasted.
