Schloss Johannisberg - Riesling Silberlack Grosses Gewächs Trocken 2021

James Suckling: "You need a long attention span for this one, but if you give it that, then it richly repays you. This wine has a timeless quality that is far removed from the fruit-driven wines that are the norm for this aromatic grape. Deep dried stone fruit and mandarin orange aromas with notes of dried flowers and saffron. Enormous structure and minerality is packed into a sleek silhouette. And what a long, muscular tail this feline dry riesling has! Matured for 10 months on full lees in oak casks, then on the fine lees in stainless steel until bottling in February. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

Falstaff: "Reifes Steinobst, dabei dennoch kühl im ersten Duft. Auch kräuterwürzig bei minimaler Reduktion. Am Gaumen folgen Veilchen, Zitronenschale, Wiesenkräuter wie auch Pfirsich und Ananas. Alles gut balanciert von reifer Säure, gefolgt von einem nicht endenden Nachhall."
