The estate (a.k.a. -Trois Chateau-) bottling of Kuentz-Bas 2009 Riesling had only just been bottled when I tasted it last November. Fresh lemon, apricot, peppermint, and lily-of-the-valley perfume find their rich yet still reasonably refreshing counterpart on a palate subtly oily in texture, with apricot kernel and citrus rind conveying bittersweet cling. Like many of the more successful 2009s, I would still opt for enjoying this relatively early by the standards of Alsace Riesling, namely within the next half-dozen years. And as in so many cases at this particular address, it strikes me that the best was made of a tricky situation, as I would not have wanted to see this wine freighted with additional alcohol.
