Fermented aged for two years in new, medium-toasted Grünhäuser barriques the 2010 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Fusion is a noble Auslese quality, which opens with a toasty and slight ripe fruit aroma intertwined with the bright, pure and delicate Grünhäuser Riesling style on the nose. On the palate, this full-bodied and rich wine is very intense and juicy, tightly woven and full of potential though still marked by the barrels. I suppose it should be excellent in 5-10 years and could be stored even longer.
