2016 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling Q.b.A.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Rheingau Riesling Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg has a very clear, deep, pure and flinty bouquet of bright fruit and crushed stone aromas. This is absolutely fascinating in its purity, finesse and complex elegance. Round and terribly lush on the palate, with very fine tannins and ripe, crystalline acidity, this is a highly elegant, delicate and complex Riesling that is enormously filigreed yet tensioned and long. A goddess of the greatest finesse and elegance. The sweetness, body and minerality are in perfect balance. Release date: March 2018. Tasted October 2017. - Stephan Reinhardt, Dez. 2017

Mosel Fine Wines
The 2016 Berg Schlossberg, as it is referred to on the front label, offers a flinty and spicy nose of aniseed, cardamom, Conference pear, herbal tea, almond, apple, licorice, and minty spices, in a style that is already quite mature. The wine proves juicy and slightly broader on the palate, with fine creamy elements adding some weight. The finish is impressively long, spicy, and salty, with a touch more lightness and precision. This Schlossberg proves now fully mature and is best enjoyed with food. Now-2031
