Description

99 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): “It’s been said, perhaps a million times, that riesling has a peachy aroma. Now this wine redefines what peachy means for this grape, so beautiful is the peach aroma in the nose here. Gigantic concentration, but it remains super-bright and pure. The power at the finish is married to totally uplifting freshness. Drink or hold. (9/19/18)”

98+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “Given the style of the vintage and the very, very low yields in the Abtserde in 2017, I was expecting a great GG from this vineyard and that is exactly what Klaus-Peter has fashioned. The superb bouquet wafts from the glass in a fine array of pink grapefruit, blood orange, complex, very pure limestone minerality, wild yeasts, dried flowers and a touch of citrus zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, complex and full-bodied, with stunning mineral drive, a great core, ripe, perfectly integrated acids and a stunningly long, pure and dancing finish. This is still a very, very young wine, but it will be a legend when it is ready to drink! 2027-2085. (May/Jun 2018)”

96 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): “Seed-inflected Meyer lemon, iodine, chalk, fusel oil and struck flint feature on the nose. That same cast of characters reprises with almost painfully concentrated piquancy, brightness and medicinal-mineral saturation on a palpably extract-rich palate. Only after some aeration does a hint of site-typical florality emerge, in the form of bittersweet perfume backed by hothouse greenery. In keeping with a vintage 2017 trend at this address – but a trend accentuated in this instance – the finish is detonative in its vibrant conveyance of energy as well as striking in its impression of chalk and stone suffusion. But beyond that, it offers mouthwatering salinity and a virtually kaleidoscopic cycle of further, ineffable mineral impressions. Drink: 2019-2037. (Jul 2019)”
