Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Schloßböckelheim FELSENBERG "Felsentürmchen" Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Hermann Dönnhoff

From Schlossböckelheim's stony, volcanic soils, the 2016 Nahe Riesling Felsenberg "GG" 'Felsentürmchen' offers a very pure and delicate bouquet of crushed stones and ripe seed fruits. Lush and intense on the palate with generous but finessed fruit, this is a very elegant and well-structured Riesling with great balance and a long, salty-piquant finish. Very long and powerful yet pure and very charming. - Stephan Reinhardt, Feb. 2018

Vinous - 2016 Schloßböckelheim FELSENBERG "Felsentürmchen" Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken, Hermann Dönnhoff

A bright, tangy amalgam of crab apple, white peach and lime is laced with site-typical piquant juniper and huckleberry, smoky black tea and crushed stone, along with thyme and tarragon, all of which components are shadowed in a high-toned aromatic display of nose-wrinkling penetration, not to mention on a silken-textured, dynamically complex palate that conveys impressive energy and leads to a gripping finish. - David Schildknecht, Apr. 2018
