Riesling CAI Magnum 2017

Immich's 2017 Riesling Kabinett Trocken C A I offers ripe, intense and pretty juicy fruit on the nose intertwined with a subtle slate aroma. Bottled with 10.5% alcohol, this is an intense, juicy, well-structured and refreshing Riesling with floral aromas on the nicely pure and slatey-crunchy finish. The wine is elegant and reveals good, mineral-refreshing length with stimulating salinity and grip and a pretty rich character for an entry-level wine from purchased grapes. Aeration helps a lot here. Tasted in March 2019. Stephen Rheinhardt 89/100.
