Hermannshöhle, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2018
justerini & brooks tasting note
Powerful yet elegant, with complex, complete and noble aromas that are both full, rich and refined. Salt, peach and fresh apricot, the tang of lime that elongates the finish. Mouth-filling yet bright and driving. Power lit up, real class from a great vineyard.
critic reviews
95/100David Schildknecht,Vinous
Bittersweet, smoky herbal and nutty notes, along with an ore-like sense of deep mineral earthiness, serve as ideal foils for generously juicy ripe white peach and bright Meyer lemon. The feel is full and firm, and the finish is superbly multileveled, but with a strong emphasis on darkly earthy and minerally low-tones whose resonance sets the tongue and tonsils quivering. (And yes, it also refreshes.)
