2010 Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Eiswein

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Constituting the later press fraction from grapes picked December 3, the 2010 Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling Eiswein leads aromatically with prickly pungency of lemon rind and horseradish, behind which are yellow plum preserves and candied intensity of herbal extracts, both of which persist on a viscous yet persistently bright palate. Hints of salted caramel and white raisin add savory and ennobled notes to a prodigious finish of impressive purity and acid-integration as well as confectionary sweetness. This will bear careful monitoring (to the extent anyone owns enough bottles to afford doing so!) but I can envision it as one of that minority of Eisweins that will merit two or more decades of bottle-aging. - David Schildknecht, Apr. 2012

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2010er Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Eiswein offers a quite intense and aromatic, yet refined and superbly complex nose of grapefruit, candied citrusy fruits, zest, herbs, blood orange, honey, and elderflower, wrapped into a whiff of volatile acidity. The wine offers some gorgeous flavors of citrusy fruits and honey on the still rather rich, sweet, and highly intense palate. It leaves one with more intensive and vibrant flavors in the powerful and long finish. This is a great dessert Eiswein. Now-2040. - Apr. 2020
