Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2014 Schloßböckelheim FELSENBERG "Felsentürmchen" Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Hermann Dönnhoff

Deep, very clear and stony/smoky on the coolish and aristocratic nose opens the 2014 Riesling Felsenberg GG 'Felsentürmchen'. Medium to full-bodied, very mineral and highly elegant on the palate, with ripe and well balanced fruit, and a long and salty finish, this is a great and quite flowing Felsenberg from the volcanic Felsentürmchen plot straight under the restored tower. - Stephan Reinhardt, März 2016

Vinous - 2014 Schloßböckelheim FELSENBERG "Felsentürmchen" Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Hermann Dönnhoff

Smoky pungency of both blond and Latakia tobacco as well as piquancy of juniper and huckleberry share aromatic billing with intimations of the ripe white peach, Rainier cherry and grapefruit that go on to dominate a glossy, buoyant palate. A cooling suggestion of mint and basil lends a delightfully soothing contrast to the wine’s persistently pungent and piquant elements, leading into a finish of dynamic complexity and impressive sheer length. - David Schildknecht, Mai 2016
