    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Schloss Lieser, Piesporter Goldtropfchen, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2017

    Honey and smoke and a touch of tropicality on the nose leads to crisp mango, passion fruit and pineapple on the palate. Extrovert but not cloying due to the fabulous energy running throughout. Taut with extract and deeply flavoured, this is a GG to win over the hearts of those that think the Mosel is too cold for great and dry wines.

    ABV:
    12%
    92/100
    David Schildknecht, Vinous
    Here we have the sort of sunny brightness and juiciness of lemon and grapefruit that are also encountered (less expectedly) in this year’s Juffer Grosses Gewächs. The feel is firm but with a flattering trace of silkiness. Hints of huckleberry and site-typical cassis display their piquant side and serve for counterpoint on a seriously sustained, stone-lined but vibrant and engagingly juicy rather than austere finish. Haag noted that “I think we were the last to harvest in Goldtröpfchen.”
